Injuries can occur as the result of a traumatic accident outside of your control, but they may also happen after engaging in a lifetime of habits that no longer serve you. At Helm PT, your therapist will help you analyze your postures and movement patterns to identify and correct faulty positions that may be exerting abnormal biomechanical forces on your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones whether you’re lying down, sitting, standing, walking, working, or playing sports.
Because no two bodies are alike, the goal of treatment is to help your particular body work optimally with the least amount of stress upon it. Whether you need to focus on stretching tight musculature, increasing joint range of motion, improving your breathing patterns, learning relaxation exercises to reduce anxiety and stress, improving your core and extremity strength, enhancing the ergonomic setup of your computer workstation, pacing your activities of daily living, building your endurance, or all of the above, your therapist can help you fine-tune your body so you can enjoy a healthy lifestyle without injuring, or re-injuring, yourself.
We also offer on-site ergonomic workstation assessment if you’re hurting on the job. Simply clear it with your employer and we’re happy to come over and evaluate your workspace to offer practical solutions on seating, positioning, and pacing all of your work activities so you can work without painful interruptions or downtime
