Is the cool spring breeze causing you pain?
Laura Rhodes | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 12 years, 6 months AGO
The sunshine is calling and you're eager to step outside and soak up those rays, but as you do so, that pesky bite to the cool air sends your back muscles into a tightened frenzy. While some believe they can tell a storm is coming when they "feel it in their bones," others are not convinced of this approach. Whether you're a true believer of weather related pain or not, you may agree with pain showing up during certain times of the year.
Scientific methods have proven that barometric pressure can produce increased pain. When your body already holds the conditions of swelling, inflammation, and abnormal joint function, pain becomes evident when atmospheric pressure goes down. It is also proven, that physical therapy can relieve this pain brought on by the ever-changing weather.

Can our electronic lifestyle be painful?
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. While these devices are a form of convenience and efficiency they may be a source of pain and injury, according to physical therapists from the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA).

Physical Therapy is for children too
A common misconception is that physical therapy is just for adults. This is not true; in fact physical therapy can be very beneficial for individuals of all ages including teenagers, toddlers and even infant children.
