🌟 Unlock the Secrets of Mobility and Chronic Pain Relief In this enlightening episode of The Functional Health Today Podcast, David Jeter, a seasoned physical therapist, shares crucial insights into using mobility as a strategy for alleviating chronic pain. Did you know that nearly 80% of adults experience some form of musculoskeletal pain at least once in their lives? Despite this, many still overlook physical therapy as a primary treatment option. 🧘‍♂️ The Power of Movement David emphasizes that chronic pain often arises from restricted movement—not just in the injured area but also in surrounding muscles and joints. For instance, arthritis in the knees can exacerbate pain if the hip and ankle mobility are compromised. He highlights the importance of focusing on overall biomechanics rather than isolating the painful area. 💪 Practical Steps to Improve Mobility Listeners learn practical exercises to improve flexibility and function. Even simple movements can help reduce discomfort; David suggests integrating yoga or specific stretching routines to foster better mobility. For anyone looking to enhance their physical health or considering physical therapy, this episode is a must-listen!
