At Allegany Physical Performance, we promote and focus on the health of your musculoskeletal and peripheral nervous systems which play an essential role in our daily life but are often ignored.
As humans, our body is designed to move, reach, and complete different physical tasks every day. From when you wake up, no matter what you physically do for work, some part of your musculoskeletal system is working. Walking, standing, driving, sitting, typing, bending, or lifting. At home, work, or on vacation, your body is doing some of those activities repetitively every day.
In this process, some silent dangers may lurk. You may experience stiffness here or there. Do you have to stretch out your back when you get out of your car? Do you hesitate before you bend down to pick up a box? Do you notice your knees are tender after you walk upstairs?
Most people do not take it seriously because these small “aches and pains” come and go, you can bear through it and somehow it could magically disappear for a while. However, these little aches and pains may lead to something serious later in your life.
Researchers believe one third of people over 40 years old have degenerative disc disease, 40% of Americans suffer from chronic shoulder pain, more than 20% of Americans experience daily pain and pain is estimated to cost the economy over 60 billion a year.
The pain in our musculoskeletal system could seriously affect our work, our entertainment, and our relationship with family and friends on a daily base. We understand aging is a part of life. However, we also believe, with appropriate maintenance, with the combination of home exercises and professional medical advice, we should be able to enjoy everyday movement no matter what age you are and no matter what you do every day.
We believe the most important part of this equation is home exercises and should be a part of your daily life. At Allegany Physical Health, we create high-efficiency home exercise programs for you to follow conveniently. We create a system for you to self-monitor your musculoskeletal system in order for you to remain aware of its condition so as to seek out professional advice before it becomes a problem.
