“We Help People in their 40’s, 50’s & 60’s Continue Enjoying Their Active Okanagan Lifestyle For Longer, Without The Use Of Pain Medication Or A Visit To The Doctor”

 

At Okanagan Athletic Therapy we love to help people in their 40’s, 50’s, & 60’s get back to living the life they deserve. Which means a life free from painkillers, where you don’t have to worry about bothering the doctor, and can do and enjoy all of the things you love in the Okanagan, without the fear of pain holding you back.

When something like chronic pain strikes in your knee, lower-back, neck or shoulders, or if you experience an injury from sport or exercise – we know it’s very tempting to leave it and hope it’ll simply “go away on it’s own” with time and rest… That you’ll wake up someday and like “magic”, it’ll be as if it never happened in the first place – but that’s usually not the case, and often the pain ends up worse than it was when it first started.

We also know it’s very easy to reach into the back of the cupboard for the painkillers, and take them whenever pain strikes so it eases off fast – but all those painkillers are no good for your health long-term, and do nothing but mask the pain instead.

Or, maybe you’re left feeling confused, even sceptical because you’ve sought advice from other Healthcare professionals in the past, and nothing they seemed to say or do helped.

Can you relate?

If that sounds like you, you’re not alone. At Okanagan Athletic Therapy we hear this all the time… In fact people who come to see us have often:

• Thought the pain would go away on it’s own – but it didn’t

• Paid several visits to the Doctor, only to be told to “rest” and “take some painkillers” – then weeks later go back to see the Doctor again, only to be prescribed MORE rest, and an even stronger dose of painkillers

• Tried a few YouTube exercises, but those exercises either didn’t do a thing or aggravated the pain making it 10 times worse

• Thought it would be a good idea to rest because the pain was so bad, but all that did was make the area even more stiff and tight

• Been told by a family member or friend that “everybody gets aches and pains as they get older” – making it easy to accept it’s “just a part of life”

Any of those sound familiar?

If any of these have happened to you – we would love to help you by inviting you to book a call to talk with one of our therapists at our Clinic to find out what can be done to help you. The fact that you’ve tried any or all of these things already, like many people we see, is actually a GOOD THING because when you know what doesn’t work – you are closer to finding the thing that does!
