Physical Therapy
Physical therapy and rehabilitation are very important after sustaining an injury or being involved in any kind of accident. At Gentle Heath Center in center city Philadelphia, we customize treatments that are most effective for your unique spinal ailments, body, activity level and lifestyle. We implement and teach you exercises that can even be done in the comfort of your own home. Our goal is to help you restore your body to a healthy balance by correcting skeletal misalignment and rebuilding stability in your muscles, joints and ligaments. Through physical therapy, we want you to regain a full range of motion and be able to move your body freely, with out nagging pain or discomfort.
Get Movin’!
With today’s sedentary work environment, we see more and more patients coming in who suffer from chronic aches and pain. Our bodies are meant to move! We were designed to groove! When we are resigned to spending 8 hours a day in a cubicle and a few more on top of that in our cars or on the train for the morning and evening commute, our health suffers. Someone once asked the Dali Lama what surprises him most and his response was man, “For sacrificing his health to make money and then sacrificing his money to recuperate his health.”
Unfortunately, the lifestyle so many of us have created for ourselves does not facilitate much movement and over time this takes a serious toll on our organs, our limbs, our health and general well being. It effects us both physically and mentally. It is our mission to help you correct your bad habits and give you the tools you need to improve your health through physical therapy treatment, without having to quit your day job!
Do you mean I can do this at home?
We sure do! The time you spend in the office with us will focus on teaching you about your pain, where it comes from and how to treat it. So much unnecessary suffering is caused and time is wasted because we don’t listen to our bodies. During our physical therapy and rehabilitation sessions, we will teach you how to be a better listener. And when you do push too hard or go to far, we will help you identify the key muscles involved and the habits that are causing continued injury and pain. Then we will teach you not just what to do, but how to properly stretch and exercise to rebuild your strength, stability and mobility without causing further injury and damage. Let us help you set a foundation for a healthy lifestyle!
