Reclaim Your Health, Energy & Vitality in 2024!
Is your quality of life burdened by body aches, joint pain, weakness and/or restricted movement?
Tens of millions of people across the world struggle with a musculo-skeletal problem that prevents them from doing the things they love, or need to do.
Common problem areas are the low back, neck, hip, knee, shoulder and feet. Pain may not be present 100% of the time, but reduced functional capacity remains.
Certain movements, such as bending at the waist or turning your neck become difficult to do, which discourages exercise and encourages a sedentary lifestyle. A sedentary lifestyle is associated with chronic degenerative diseases like obesity, heart disease and diabetes.
With insufficient physical activity, the condition gradually deteriorates and becomes harder to reverse as the years pass. This is the pathway to partial disability, or encumbered activities of daily living in the later years. As a result, life won’t be as fun as it could.
Given this predictable scenario,
It is extremely important to address any issue that limits your mobility and strength NOW before it’s too late.
And I would like to help you.
I have been a strong advocate of self-care for over 25 years, teaching my methods on my site and YouTube channel Ask Dr. P (formerly The Pain and Injury Doctor Online). My approach to creating a pain-free, flexible, strong and healthy body is grounded in wellness-focused lifestyle modification combined with manual therapy techniques and select, home-use therapeutic devices that I have carefully researched and tested.
The world is changing fast, and self-care/ wellness education via the internet (referred to as telehealth or telemedicine) is an emerging health care tool that is helping millions of people successfully manage a variety of health problems in the comfort of their home.

Your body constantly seeks a state of optimal function, and pain is not a part of that state. This is an innate feature of all living organisms. If pain lasts or keeps returning, something is inhibiting your body from experiencing a pain-free state and in many cases, you have control over that something.
