It’s a simple matter       of good posture!

Your mother knew that sitting up straight was good for you!  Recent studies have confirmed it.  Good posture makes you look younger and live longer.

 An article on Health.com noted that “As we age, good posture will do more to keep you looking youthful as the years go by than a face-lift or Botox. And the benefits of maintaining your bone health are much more than skin-deep.”*

Physical therapists have seen first hand the benefits of good posture.  Through physical therapy treatment and education, we can help you improve your posture with a physical therapy treatment plan.

 At Smolczynski Physical Therapy Associates we realize that it isn’t always possible to avoid the actions and postures that result in spine, head face and extremity pain.   However, for patients suffering from TMJ, neck pain, shoulder pain and migraines, posture therapy can make patients feel better and look better too!

Our posture-based therapy combines a number of techniques – including hands-on treatment, mobilization, and massage, along with thorough patient education.  Many of the issues that affect your overall health may benefit from a strengthening & stretching plan that improves your posture.

A patient shares her success story… “Vince gave me the treatment AND the tools that I needed to help decrease my migraines in both frequency and intensity.  As my posture improved, so did my migraines.  When I felt a migraine coming on, I knew the techniques to relieve the neck & shoulder issues that compounded the pain.”

 At our practice, we believe in giving the patient the information that they need to stay healthy long after their physical therapy treatment is over. Continued good health is our goal.

So avoid the plastic surgery…look younger & live longer with physical therapy!
