We all go to the dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings to maintain good dental health. What would happen if we periodically went to the physical therapist for check-ups?

We know that over the course of life, the incidence and severity of musculoskeletal problems increase. Chronic musculoskeletal conditions like osteoarthritis, neck and back pain, osteoporosis, and sarcopenia are thought to progress over many years. What we now know is that there are risk factors for developing these conditions, such as obesity, physical inactivity, and muscle weakness. Physical therapists may be in a great position to help you identify such risk factors for chronic conditions and intervene before the development and progression of chronic conditions emerge and become more difficult to manage. Remember— a small investment now can save you down the road! If interested in such a check-up, contact Jeff to see if he can help you.
