They run, jump, crawl, hop, skip.... and you better believe that they want YOU to do it with them! By training our bodies in various movements and skills, we are able to develop and maintain the ability to continue (running, jumping, crawling, hopping, skipping...) well into our elder years. Age is just a number here. ? Get started today!

Drayer Physical therapy

Winter can be tough on your joints, but there are ways to feel better. Try these practical tips to help ease your joint pain during the cold months.
?????? ??
In cold weather, stay warm to reduce pain - electric blankets, flannel sheets, warm clothes, scarves, and gloves. When you return indoors, take a hot bath or shower to warm up.
?????? ????????
If you are prone to swelling in your joints, get ahead of it on cold winter days. Snug gloves, braces, elastic bands, compression gloves, and socks exert mild pressure on affected joints to reduce swelling.
??? ??????
Exercise is shown to lower pain for people with arthritis. But it's easy to lose motivation when it's frigid outside. But we promise, once you get moving, you're going to feel better—and not just in your joints.
Physical therapy for arthritis helps patients exercise in a safe, controlled environment to prevent further damage to painful joints. Contact a clinic near you to learn how physical therapy can help you feel and move better this winter. https://bit.ly/2PlppHQ
