How to Treat Musculoskeletal Pain the Right Way

Amber Nimedez's picture

I witness people in pain all the time. People getting out of the car holding their back, people in the gym rotating their shoulder because "it just hurts so much", people flexing and extending their knee saying "it just doesn't work the way it used to". Almost every person I talk to has some sort of pain going on. Getting surgery or going to the chiropractor seems like a regular trend these days. The excuse: "well, this is what happens when you get old".

Really? That's what happens when you get old? You complain about pain and expect someone else to get rid of it? As an Exercise Therapist, I have witnessed client after client with the same story. "My back-shoulder-hip-knee-ankle hurts and my doctor thinks I should have surgery. I've seen and tried everything under the sun, and the pain just won't go away...can you fix me?" My response: "YOU can fix YOU".
