Don’t Let Back Pain Wreck Your...

Today we highlight a client who has been with MOSS for several “rounds” of therapy for various conditions.  She is extremely active and wants to stay that way. She also understands that physical therapy is a “contact sport” and you have to work hard to get your desired results.  Her ultimate goal was to get back to gardening and yard work.  Today I want to introduce you to Sandy. She is very sweet and is probably one of the most proactive patients I have. When Sandy discovers an issue that doesn’t seem to be going away she gives us a...

I Don’t Have Time For…

Tick Tock goes the clock. I don’t have time for ……(you fill in the blank).  Often we hear this when it comes to scheduling physical therapy 3 times a week for 4-6 weeks.  On the surface this can seem like a lot of time but rarely do people see it as an investment in their health.  The problem is you should see the time you spend to either get out of pain or to build or maintain your strength and independence as an investment and not a cost.  An investment is something that gives you a positive return on your...

The prevalence for low back pain is greater in women and as we age.  The problem is there is not a consensus on how to effectively treat lower back pain. There are many different schools of thought and such a large variation within patient (men/ women, young/old) populations that trying to put a blanket over the problem is impossible.  It is estimated that back pain is the most common type of pain and it affects nearly 2 out of 5 US adults within the last...

Treating George Costanza

Today we highlight a client who has quite a story.  When I first heard it I thought the staff was pulling my leg. It sounds like an episode of Seinfeld where George Costanza was carrying a huge wallet stuffed with all sorts of useless coupons, receipts, loyalty cards and notes.  He was sitting in the cafe complaining about his back and hip pain to Jerry when Jerry noted that he was sitting “on a slant” due to his obese wallet. Instead of taking the wallet out of his back pocket George just grabbed a wad of napkins and shoved them...

As a disabled...
