Madagascar was right – you’ve got to move it, move it!
But what if the idea of moving at all – much less dancing like an animated lion – is overwhelming because of persistent pain or injury?
Injury, illness or pain can affect our ability and confidence in the way we move, but physical therapists can help you regain control of your body and help you move better. In fact, physical therapy is a recommended treatment for things like persistent pain and for the prevention of falls. Therapy often can be an effective and safe alternative to medications or surgical procedures.
Sometimes people don’t try therapy because they fear that it will put them in more pain, they’ll fail, or because of the cost. But remember: physical therapists are trained to work with you and design an individual approach that works best for you. Your therapist will work at your pace and push you to safely reach your optimal health.
One of the best-kept secrets of Church Health is that in addition to our clinical, dental, and eye care services, we also offer quality, affordable physical therapy to people without insurance. Call us at 901-701-2294 to learn more about PT at Church Health.
Talk to your doctor if you think you might benefit from physical therapy.
