Are you a middle-aged recreational athlete with an injury? Not pleased with your health care? Pursuit Physical Therapy is the answer for you!



Is this you?

On Saturday morning you wake to get ready for your long run, tennis match, or golfing with friends.  You end up not warming up or you end up doing a very small and quick warm-up.  So your body is not ready for an aggressive exercise.  At first your start performing well and then you push yourself or try to" kill the golf ball from the tee like you are in a long drive competition" and you start to experience some pain.    Your knee starts to hurt, or you experience some elbow pain with your back swing, or you notice you low back is hurting after that last drive.  Out comes to anti-inflammatory meds.  The pain subsides, during the activity or after,  but the injury actually worsens.

By the end of the night the pain start to intensify.  The next morning when you wake up, you have increased pain with increased stiffness and the hot pack comes out to relieve the stiffness.  By mid week, the injury is agonizing.  You start taking pain meds just to continue your activity (which is the WORST THING YOU CAN DO!) or the pain stops you from doing the activity you love.
