Neck Pain, The Power of Social Media, and Physical Therapy!
Earlier this year I posted a photo on Facebook sharing details on some weird neck pain I was experiencing. I tend to hold all of my stress in my neck and shoulders which leads to moments of excruciating pain and feeling uncomfortable doing the most basic things. Luckily, I had a lot of amazing people reach out in the comments, messages, and emails with tips and suggestions on how to relieve the pain. One of those people happened to be the owner of Athletity Physical Therapy, Shari.
Shari reached out to offer some tips and also welcomed me into her Dublin office well before my family doctor could get me in so that I could start feeling better much faster. As a busy mom of three, business owner, and juggler of so many things it was important to put the pain behind me so I could move on with my life.
After two visits with Shari, I was feeling better and able to get back to normal life. I had an actual diagnosis other than neck pain and she helped me realize how I can stay on top of my health so it never has to get so bad again. Major Win!
We’re all very busy so instead of lots of words and stories I’m going to make it very easy by listing the most important things you need to know about being a patient with Athletity.
The Office is KID FRIENDLY
The office is very kid-friendly. I work from home which means I’m also the primary caregiver for my children, and my youngest daughter isn’t in school yet so she tags along with me to a lot of my appointments and errands. Shari was very welcoming to both of us which made it so much easier for me to relax and get the most of my time with Shari. Not only was my daughter welcome but she was encouraged to explore and play with safe items around the office.
Shari Understands Mom Life!
Shari is a busy mom so she gets exactly what we’re all going through and she makes it easy for us to feel stronger and be our best selves.
Dr. Shari is Full of Information
I work best when I know the why behind it. I need to know why things are the way they are to help me process the outcome. It’s just who I am. Shari was always forthcoming with so much information that made it easy for me to digest it all and know exactly what I need to do when the pain sneaks up on me.
