Neck and back pain doesn’t stop this outdoorsman

Neck and back pain doesn’t stop this outdoorsman

Cary Des Roches is an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys all types of outdoor activities, especially hunting and fishing. One day, he began to experience neck and lower back pain. The pain radiated down to his extremities. Unable to perform any level of activity, Cary came to Baudry Therapy Center for physical therapy.

Here’s Cary’s journey back to the outdoors:

When I arrived at Baudry Therapy Center, the therapists gave me a comprehensive evaluation and treated me with dry needling and functional exercise. They also gave me a customized treatment plan with the necessary tools and stretching techniques to eliminate my pain.

In addition, Baudry gave me the proper education and take-home exercises to keep me active and pain-free. Physical therapy allowed me to take control of my health and resume my prior activities without pain or limitation.

My level of improvement has been a pleasant surprise given my pain level and limitation of movement at the beginning of my treatment. I am more than satisfied with my results and am happy to return to the outdoors!

For people like Cary, pain can come on suddenly and without warning.   These conditions are often set up by sedentary work habits, which leave people tight and vulnerable for an injury. So what is the best thing for recovery?

The key points to recovery are an early intervention, an active based therapy program, and taking an active role in recovery.

Cary did just that! We’re so proud of your hard work, Cary! We wish you the best on your next fishing or hunting trip!

PT helps tennis player with hip pain return to the court

Tennis player returns to court after receiving PT for hip pain

Frank Crothers, a long-time tennis player, injured his lower back and hip while he was serving on the tennis court. His back pain did not subside and he continued to experience ongoing hip pain as a result. He decided that he needed the help and chose physical therapy at Baudry Therapy Center. Read how Frank’s hard work in physical therapy got him back on the court:

“I needed the help of a good physical therapist in order to return to playing tennis. I play tournaments at City Park, so solving the back problem was important. Physical therapy helped me pinpoint the areas that really needed extra emphasis through the whole chain of movement.  PT helped me feel better overall, stronger and more balanced. I have been playing since graduating from physical therapy and was even able to play a little during therapy. I gradually improved both the hip and the back and am now playing with no pain. Best of all, my game is improving.

I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Baudry Therapy Center, as I was treated in a friendly and helpful manner. They gave me useful information about my injury and the exercises and stretches I should do to maintain good shape. I am very, very happy with my outcome and have already recommended Baudry to friends.”
