| Salute to Freedom! |
|
Peak Physical Therapy would like to thank all members of our armed services, past and present, who have fought and given their lives to grant us the freedoms that we all enjoy today. The simple pleasures of life that we have did not come free and should not be taken advantage of. Many times, we forget the sacrifice and dedication that have gone into the things we as Americans love. As our Soldiers and Military men continue to grant us our freedom in ways we can not imagine, our lives continue to be blessed- and for that, Peak Physical Therapy would like to say thank you.
Often times, it is the simple things in life that we take for granted- the freedom to vote, to choose our own leaders, to decide our careers, or even to simply leave our homes without risk of death or danger. In many instances, the phrase “you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone” can apply not only to our political and religious freedoms, but also our freedoms of enjoying a comfortable and enjoyable physical life. When the things we enjoy every day are taken away from us, we seem to realize that those aspects of life are much more influential and important than we may have once thought. Peak Physical Therapy can help get you back to those activities in life that you love the most! Some of those aspects that we sometimes forget about include things such as being able to cook, clean, take a walk or bathe ourselves. When an injury occurs, there are undoubtedly activities in life that will be inhibited because of the lack of function that the injury will incur, most of which can be helped tremendously by physical therapy. One instance that clearly illustrates this includes the nearly year-long recovery with physical therapy that many athletes need while allowing an ACL tear to fully heal, which prevents them from participating in the activities they love. Another example is the case of an elderly individual falling and fracturing a hip which often times leaves them unable to care for themselves and forces them to seek out the care of in-home physical therapy or occupational therapy or even an assisted living facility. As we can see, simple daily activities and freedoms can be largely inhibited if we do not properly care for our physical health. Going hand-in-hand with these dangers, studies have shown that PREVENTATIVE CARE is often times more successful in treating injuries and is almost always less expensive. In the eyes of healthcare professionals and Americans alike- less pain, more freedom and cheaper healthcare is a WIN-WIN.
