As 2019 comes to a close, more and more people are realizing the value of taking control of their health care and personal well-being. In today’s health care environment, we all need to learn how to treat common aches and pains proactively instead of reactively. We must get to the root of the issue instead of placing a Band-Aid over it. We must realize that our individual health is our responsibility. We cannot rely on others to make decisions for us. Our present health care system in America is not designed to help you optimize your health–that is your job!
The purpose of The Physical Therapy Advisor is to help people like you to take control of your health and to save money by learning how to safely self-treat and manage common musculoskeletal, neurological, and mobility related conditions safely and effectively.
