A basic fact of life is that we all live extremely busy lives. From work, to family, and everything in between, there is always something that needs to be done. With that time crunch, our experience with our patients is that our health usually takes a back seat, because we always think, “I’ll deal with that tomorrow.” But there are just some things that shouldn’t wait until tomorrow, especially when dealing with back pain.

How often should I do my exercises? And do I need to do them forever?
Pain can be a problem for every aspect of our lives, especially when it comes to working. For Tracy, after we had helped her previously with terrible knee pain, she knew that the only way to get rid of her current shoulder pain was to get back into the office for physical therapy again.
