Be Free From Shoulder Pain

Grace Walker, physical and occupational therapist & nutritionist says, "Be free from shoulder pain"

An estimated 50% of people in the U.S. suffer from shoulder pain and only HALF of them will seek treatment. Injury or abuse over time can cause shoulder pain and, left untreated, can lead to pain in the neck, back, elbow and hand as well.

Here are some important Do's and Don'ts for shoulder pain; but don't wait any longer and seek treatment now:

DO'S and DON'TS

• DO lie on your pain-free side
• DO elevate our shoulder by keeping the elbow supported during sitting and driving
• DO use ice 20-30 minutes before bed
• DON'T lift with your palms down
• DON'T sit for more than 20 minute durations
• DON'T push or pull anything when hands are not visible
• DON'T aggressively stretch or strengthen without your doctor or physical therapist's approval.

Walker Physical Therapy & Pain Center Announces its January Patient of the Month

Grace Walker, physical and occupational therapist and nutritionist is proud to announce Joyce Jauch as its first official patient of the month at Walker Physical Therapy & Pain Center.

All staff members and therapists agreed that Joyce has been one of Walker's most enthusiastic and proactive patients this past month. She always carries a positive attitude and does the "dirty work" not only when she's at the gym. Here is what she says about her experience at Walker PT and how she was able to get such great results:

When I came to physical therapy I had not idea my back and leg pain could be helped by learning various exercises. I've since learned that various simple exercises can be done by me that make my life so much more "do-able" and so much easier. I've enjoyed working on the exercises and feel a renewed hope of living with far less pain. I've enjoyed working with the staff at Walker PT. They've been a great help in encouraging my recovery."

My mission is to provide caring, compassionate, and empowering physical therapy to each and every one of our patients. Over the past 3 years, my team and I have been trained to use new techniques that lead to a quicker and faster recovery for our patients. Back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, and neck pain are our top diagnoses but we treat much more. We provide creative service care which means that we do whatever it takes to find solutions that meet our patients’ needs.

 At Walker Physical Therapy & Pain Center, We involve our patients in their physical therapy program and make them an integral part of their recovery. Each patient is set up on their own individual program that is tailored to fit their needs.

 

 

Success Story: “ After tearing my Rotator Cuff and having surgery to repair it, I was referred to Walker Physical Therapy & Pain Center for rehabilitation. Thanks to their experience and skill, my pain is completely gone and I have complete range of motion back. I am especially grateful to my therapist; without her knowledge and care I would not have made such an amazing recovery. My experience at Walker Physical Therapy & Pain Center has been an extremely positive one and I would like to thank them for all they have done for me. I would highly recommend them.”

Grace Walker, avid Physical Therapist at Walker Physical Therapy challenges skiers!

Grace Walker Physical Therapy Skiing in Utah

Grace Walker currently serves as a physical therapist and director of the Walker Physical Therapy and Pain Center. Beyond her activities as a physical therapist, Grace Walker enjoys spending time with her family and engaging in outdoor activities such as swimming and skiing. Skiing differs from many other physical activities in that a person must travel far out of their comfort zone in order to enjoy a day on the slopes. A snowy mountainside, even one owned and maintained by a world-class ski resort, can pose a great danger to skiers who are not familiar with the area and who do not pay close attention to trail markers. The most important signs on a mountain describe the difficulty of an upcoming trail in relation to other trails on the mountain. Any trail marked with a green circle can be considered a beginner’s slope. Two green circles represent the easiest trail on a mountain, with a single circle suggesting a slightly more difficult path. The next stage of trails is marked by a blue square. Skiers must remember that in this case, a single square makes for an easier trail than a double square. In either event, these trails should pose an acceptable challenge to intermediate skiers. Finally, the most challenging trails on a mountain are indicated by one or two black diamonds. These trails should only be attempted by experienced skiers. Double black diamonds are regarded as expert trails.
