The Chinese plank is a great starting point to calm down back pain and start to build strength and endurance.

Holding that position is usually tolerable even when pain is high and people usually have a reduction in pain after a couple sets.

Start with 3 sets of 30-60 seconds

Dry needling is my favorite passive treatment.

People are often surprised at how beneficial it is in just 5-10 minutes.

We test a painful movement.
Dry needle with estim for 5-10 minutes.
Retest that movement and there is usually an improvement in pain, range of motion, or strength .

Then we follow it up with exercise for a long term solution.

Introduction

My name is Brett Scoles and I'm the owner and physical therapist at Leverage Physical Therapy.

I started Leverage Physical Therapy to help people not only get out of pain but to stay active and improve their overall health. With a model that works for both providers and patients, we can build long term relationships and work through all the phases of life.

I like spending time with my wife and kids, wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu, working out, hunting, and being outdoors. I try my best to practice what I preach and live a healthy lifestyle.

Rest can make things feel better temporarily but doesn't prepare you for life.

If you want to be prepared for sport or life, you need an active approach. A smart approach can help you build capacity to do more and hurt less.

Top reasons older adults don't exercises:

1. Pain: most people in their 60s, 70s, and 80s have a past injury, surgery, or pain that makes exercise more difficult or fearful

2. Don't know what to do: if you haven't exercised before it can be tough to know what to do and how much of it to be safe and effective

3. Equipment: it takes equipment to have a well rounded exercise program

4. Gyms are intimidating: although most gyms are very welcoming and accommodating, they can be intimidating if you've never been to one

5. Community: it's hard to exercise consistently by yourself

6. Consistency: whether it's boredom, pain, motivation, lack of progress, or other responsibilities, it can be hard to be consistent over many years

Good news.

We have solved all of these problems with Movement With Age.

Weighted vests are fine but if you're trying to improve bone density, walking with an 8 pound weighted vest probably isn't going to cut it.

Resistance training and jumping can improve bone density even in people with osteopenia or osteoporosis.

If you aren't sure what to do or how to safely start a program, schedule an appointment.
