Lifestyle

In addition to the treatments discussed above, sometimes lifestyle interventions are key for physical therapy success. This might include improving sleep hygiene, monitoring stress management, improving nutrition and/or improving recreational fitness. For example, patients who get less sleep are more likely to have increased and longer-lasting pain. This can be frustrating, especially for someone who cannot sleep because of his or her pain. In this example, we will discuss everything from your sleeping positions to your daily routine to see if there are any adjustments we can make to allow you to sleep with greater ease.

At Sparks Physical Therapy, we look far behind the tissue-level and utilize everything in our power to lessen/relieve your aches and pains in a timely-manner.

Abraskin and Parker, along with the rest of the staff deserve more than five stars! This family run practice cares most about their patients and worked hard to help me with recovery in the most efficient way - their goal was to get me feeling better, not to keep me in PT for as long as possible (though I'm missing my weekly visits!).  When I began experiencing symptoms from a different issue, Ashlynn transitioned me over to Jessica seamlessly to best match the expertise for my areas of pain. I cannot recommend the entire Sparks Physical Therapy team enough. read less

I wanted to give my personal success story at Sparks Physical Therapy.  Last year I began the journey of losing 80+ pounds. I started with diet and tried to add in exercise but anything more than walking… I would peeAfter having a successful pregnancy and C-section in 2020… my bladder was not having the same success ????????????. It was impossible to lose more weight without being able to move. ! I also had that incredibly painful coccyx pain (SPD mamas helllloooo) where I literally thought my pelvis was literally going to crack in half and break. I was hoping it would go away after delivery but no luck! I now have zero pain and have exercises and stretches to manage.  THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO GO GET PELVIC FLOOR THERAPY!!!  After working with the co-owner and pelvic floor therapist Ashlynn, I can now: cough, sneeze, laugh, run, jump on a trampoline!!, chase after my toddler, exercise, etc. ALL WITHOUT PEEING MY PANTS!! The ability to exercise and not be controlled by my bladder allowed me to really shed the weight.  I was trapped in my house, planning out stops on the road, stores, and parks to make sure I wouldn’t pee my pants. I’m no longer living life according to how long I can hold my pee.  She sees women of all ages. So if you’re a grandmother now it’s not too late!!  Pelvic floor therapy changed my life! Thank you Ashlynn read less
