By Michael Napierala, PT, SCS, CSCS, FAFS   THE GREAT DECEPTION A really friendly, energetic middle aged lady recently was at Peak Performance PT for her Low Back Pain and Radiating Leg Pain.  We’ll call her Suzanna for the sake of our story.  This is kind of like the old Mission Impossible where the recording would self destruct seconds after playing.  Our HIPPA laws require confidentiality so rather than inventing a space age Memory Zapper that would pop out of this email to erase her actual name from your memory, it’s easier to just go the fictitious route.  I wanted to share Suzanna’s story with you because it’s a really common mindset out there that I think I can help you better understand.   Suzanna had been going to the Health Club for years, doing classes along with weight machines and cardio machines.  She felt pretty fit and really didn’t have any complaints.  But then her bubble burst and about two months ago she developed not only Low Back Pain but she was also getting radiating symptoms into both hips and thighs.  That really stinks.  The back pain is something many of us are familiar with.  In fact, studies suggest that humans are 80% likely to have at least one episode of significant Low Back Pain in their life – to such an extent that it limits function. Suzanna’s pains into the hips and thighs were a different thing though.  That was a bit of a wake up call to know this wasn’t just some tiny little back pain episode that could be ignored.  It’s especially hard for someone like her who enjoyed going to the club and being active so much.  It was really cramping her style. Recently during a treatment when I was sharing with her some of the shortcomings I’d found on testing, she said something to the effect of “But I was just healthy a month ago….I was fine.  I was working out three days a week.  How could I have all these issues when I exercised so much?” BINGO!  That was the Million Dollar Question.     READ THE FULL ARTICLE     What's New at Peak?   Winter Office Hours: Monday:        6:45am - 7:00pm Tuesday:       8:00am - 7:00pm Wednesday:   6:45am - 7:00pm Thursday:      8:00am - 7:00pm Friday:          6:45am - 4:00pm Saturday & Sunday: CLOSED OFFICE HOURS SHOWN - appointment times may vary by provider.   Facility Upgrades - We have recently completed several upgrades to our clinic. We resurfaced and painted our walls (adding some great color to the clinic), re-upholstered our treatment tables, replaced all of our carpeting, added a huge vinyl decal of our logo on our vaulted ceiling wall and mounted a jumbo sized laminate wall board for medicine ball exercises and more!

Mike N's functional approach to rehab is important to me, because he sees the "big picture." I found my rehab program to be dynamic, and that it addresses all of the demands an active and healthy lifestyle would put on my body (not just one little part of it). I have been to many physical therapists, yet have worked with few who understand the desire to return to "optimal functioning" versus "good enough." There are many factors in that equation, and I believe that Mike understands and considers all of them. After seeing the positive results I have had with Mike, I wouldn't trust anyone else!"   Jay S. 12/09/2011        READ MORE TESTIMONIALS   ADD YOUR OWN TESTIMONIAL     Help Us, Help Your Friends & Family!
