How’s that New Years Resolution coming?

I was talking to a friend the other day.  She’s run marathons in the past, but then life hit hard and she was forced to shift her focus from self-care to caring for her family. This year, she’s trying to get back to caring for herself, and for her that means RUNNING!

However, when she tried to start running again, even in short sessions, her body rebelled. She had persistent pain in her legs like she had never had before. So she had to stop running, but she didn’t give up, she started Physical Therapy!

Her therapist evaluated what was causing her pain and created an individualized plan for her to get better. She stuck to the plan, doing her exercises at home and making regular visits to her physical therapist. Within a month, she was running again!

If this story sounds somewhat familiar, come see us! You don’t have to sacrifice doing the things you love or the things that keep you active and well. North Idaho, especially Coeur d’Alene, is a beautiful place and so many of our patients have outdoor hobbies: pickleball, hiking, biking, running, walking, skiing, snowboarding, golf– there are too many things to list! Get out there and enjoy them! Reach out to us if you need help! 

Listen to this review from our recent patient:

“I was walking with a cane. Now I have no need for it.  I’ve gotten a lot more strength in my leg, better balance also. I wasn’t able to go hiking or do any outdoor activities that I normally did.  Now I can hike, go on walks with my wife, ride my bike and do all the outdoor activities I did before. The staff are very friendly and skilled at what they do. I highly recommend them!”
