- Musculoskeletal conditions are the #1 reason people visit their physicians, and they affect nearly half of Americans over the age of 18.
- As we age normal physiological changes will take place like a decrease in muscle mass and nerve function as well as joint degeneration leading to a decrease in your balance, strength, power and your overall ability to move.
- To keep you “Moving Well” so that you can continue to do the activities you love!

WHO SHOULD GET AN ANNUAL EXAM?
People of all ages, athletic abilities and limitations would benefit from a one-on-one Annual Physical Therapy Exam. Example: 66 year old grandmother comes in for annual exam. She has been healthy and active with no major issues but the normal aches and pains of aging. During the exam, her PT identifies a few areas of stiffness and weakness. Her PT will educate her in an exercise plan to prevent these movement problems from affecting the activities she enjoys –like gardening, walking and playing with grandkids. SHE IS ABLE TO MEET HER GOAL OF STAYING HEALTHY AND ACTIVE! Example: A 35 year old runner comes in for an annual exam. Continues to run, do light weight lifting, and takes care of his body. During the exam, his PT finds a few issues with his running gait and form that, if left unaddressed, could lead to multiple injuries that will hinder his running program. His PT helps correct his running form and educates him in proper warm-up and stretching program. HE IS ABLE TO MEET HIS GOAL OF A CONSISTENT RUNNING PROGRAM AND AVOID INJURY! |
