The Crossroads

Posted By: Jim Cleveland on 10/01/2010

At the end of the movie Castaway, Tom Hanks was standing at the crossroads somewhere in Texas.  He started to look in different directions, wondering “where do I go from here?” 

Now, some of you have been or are currently at the “crossroads” with your physical therapist.  Where do you go after your physical therapist has released you?

Keep in mind that a physical therapist follows a rehabilitation protocol in relation to a doctor’s prescription for a patient.  Once the patient regains a normal level of functionality, they are no longer under the care of the physical therapist and subsequently released.       

The next logical step and probably most beneficial to your health would be to continue on with a certified fitness trainer.  

Remember, the key is to get stronger, enhance your balance, and increase your flexibility, so that you can minimize the chances of having to “return” to your physical therapist!

Your fitness trainer will help you achieve these goals by working with you one-on-one!
