Are you tired of living in pain? Do you feel that you have you exhausted all efforts in order to feel better? If so, you are not alone, pain is often undertreated in women for a variety of reasons, but this does not mean you should lose hope!
Pain is a regular reality for many women, whether you are dealing with menstruation discomfort, childbirth, autoimmune diseases, or tension headaches, your life is being interrupted unnecessarily. Pain can easily distract you from work and family matters, make you depressed, disrupt your eating and sleeping habits, or even decrease your motivation to stay physically active which can result in unwanted weight gain. All of these consequences can and should be avoided when it comes to women's health.
As women we tend to study our conditions and learn to manage our pain in an assortment of ways, however sometimes it is hard to get the help that we deserve. Treatments for your pain can come in many forms, but one of the most effective methods for women's health issues is physical therapy. In some cases, it is believed that little to no movement is the best way to deal with chronic pain, this is not true. A physical therapist can help you develop a treatment program involving physical activity that is gentle and sensible, making sure it is the right fit for you and your condition.

We live amongst a digital society where most communication is completed through our smart phones, iPads and laptops, our books are read on nooks and kindles, and our physical activity comes from Wii Fit and Xbox connect.
