Fascinating article this morning from NPR news:
Farewell, Heating Pad: Physical Therapists say it doesn't help
Heat therapy, electrical stimulation, ultrasound and other "passive physical agents" almost never help, according to a list released Monday by the Choosing Wisely campaign. Instead, they siphon time and money away from what you really want from a physical therapist — an exercise program that will restore strength and mobility.
Moral of the story time - next time your back or neck or anything hurts and you just feel like staying at home to rest it on the couch…DON'T. Stop in to Urbancore for a class or private session instead. Keep yourself young, agile, pain-free, and happy with PILATES!
