Clarksville golfers, do you have back pain no matter what shot you’re hitting?

What if it’s not your back? Would you be able to tell if it’s something else like your glutes (that’s “butt muscles” for the non-medical among us)?

Glutes are notorious for taking breaks and letting your back do the work. Some signs it might be your glutes are if you spend lots of time sitting or if your back is yelling at you after you play 18 holes.

What to do?
Try some glute bridges. Lie on your back, bend your knees and put your feet flat. Push through your feet and lift your rear end 10 times. See if your glutes get back to work and your back stops yelling.

If it hurts, stop. Kaitlyn can help you figure it out.

She’ll watch you move, check your strength, and see if your glutes really are lazy or if something else is going on.

Your baby looks only to one side no matter what you do.

You’ve Googled. Now "torticollis” and “pediatric physical therapy” are all over your feed.

But wait. Physical therapy with a baby? How is that going to work?

Your PT will ask what's most important to you, what you're already doing and what you've tried. Your PT will check your baby's posture and movement and show you some things to do. You'll get to do the things to make sure you feel confident with what you're doing.

When you come back for your next visit it will look a lot like your first visit without all the questions. Your PT may do some activities with your baby. This could include sitting your baby on a giant ball and tilting the ball (and of course your baby) slowly until the neck muscles say “oh yeah, I’m supposed to be working!”

You'll review everything and your PT will help you make adjustments so you’re feeling like a pro at home.

Over time your baby's head starts to turn more in the other direction.

How much time? We're not easy to pin down with predictions since no baby ever listens to a PT's timeline.

Sometimes it takes weeks and sometimes it's months but you'll start to notice your baby's head turning both ways.

And then? We'll be sad because you won't need to see us anymore!

Getting checked is easy:
Pediatrician Referral: Ask your doctor to fax a referral to High Pointe Therapy at 931-920-4346.

Direct Access: In Tennessee, you don't need a doctor's referral to see a PT! Call us at 931-920-4333 and we’ll check your insurance coverage for you.
