Living your life with pain and some type of limiting condition can affect every moment of your day, week, month or year.

 

No matter how small or severe the condition is, it is going to be a constant nudge on your well-being and a block to living your life to the fullest.  Think about this, you want to stand up and catch a good glance of your child performing on stage, but your back pain is not letting you do that.  Or… that competitive running used to be your passion but is now just a dream because the pain in your legs won't let you run. Part of enjoying all that Cape Coral and the nearby areas have to offer is being able to get out there and walk, dance, run, jog or just go for dinner – pain can keep you from doing any of those things – and the Cape Coral physical therapists for Back in Motion can help you “get back to fun.”

 

It's not just your life goals and dreams that get crushed by pain, some of the little things of everyday life get affected so much that sometimes you don't even realize why.  Having pain or not being able to do what you want to do can make you irritable and lead to several other mental health issues like sleep disorders and depression – even when you live somewhere as beautiful as Cape Coral.

 

Your performance at work and daily activities may also witness a decline if you don't start treating yourself better. 

 

How Pain Affects You

 

 

  • It affects your mood. It makes you more vulnerable to emotional imbalances and puts you at risk of anxiety, depression, and fear. 
  • Your sleep patterns could change. 
  • Pain can block your sensory process and make your performances fall due to the physical discomfort it gives when you do any physical activity. Your confidence levels may go down and social skills can also suffer. 

 

Our approach to treating muscular and joint pain in Cape Coral does not mean popping up pills and pain medications now and then.   As you must have known already, they do not solve actual problems. And in the long term, they will not be of much use either. You need a permanent solution to once and for all shut the door on pain. You need the ability to get back to your original functionality and if possible a better state of being before your injuries. Do not make do with limited functionality. It is not a burden you want to carry for a long time. For instance, ignoring hip and knee pain can alter your movement and cause you to compensate.

 

You need the best possible solutions to get you back on track to reach your full potential. Don't ever give up on yourself.

  • Specialized Diagnosis and Treatment Process

 

Back in Motion uses its own specialized treatment process called the Gray Method. It is named after its prestigious founder Dr. Scott Gray.  This method of diagnosis leaves no stone unturned to find out the exact reason behind your pain or restricted mobility.  It starts with a general evaluation and goes deeper into a specialized evaluation to discern the accurate diagnosis of the patient.  It does not stop with the superficial layer of the diagnosis but goes deeper to uncover the underlying root cause.  For instance, hip pain during running could be ruled off as a tendon injury by a general physician.  Back in Motion will dig deeper to find out the reason for the injury which could be weak thigh muscles, your foot not moving enough, or no core strength.  It will also prescribe the necessary treatment to allow faster healing and prevention of similar injuries in the future.

What A Happy Cape Coral Client Says about Us on Google

 

I am a Cape Coral snowbird and was having pain in my foot. I had posterior tibial tendonitis that was bothering me from staying active and cooking, which is what I love to do. I took painkillers and injections but wanted to get to the root cause as to why my tendon was injured. After about 6 visits my feet are now pain-free and I am having no problems at all. If you’re in need of physical therapy in Cape Coral or Fort Myers I would highly recommend Back In Motion.
