Kinetic Edge celebrates physical therapy month with free injury screens

October is National Physical Therapy Month, and Kinetic Edge Physical Therapy is celebrating Thursday with their free pain and injury screen day which is open to the public.

“Our free screens are a 20-minute, one-on-one appointment, with one of our movement experts,” physical therapist Jared Gerber said. “We see this as a great opportunity for people to talk with us about their pain or problem so that they can get our best medical recommendation for how to move better and feel better.”

The team at Kinetic Edge views this day as another opportunity to live out their mission of transforming lives and restoring hope through movement.

“Kinetic Edge is on track to serve more than 4,500 clients this year, so we’re well aware of how pain or an injury impacts a person’s quality of life,” physical therapist and clinic manager Matt Scotton said. “When you can’t do your day-to-day activities or when you have to deal with pain while doing them, it’s easy to become frustrated and lose hope.”

The free screen day at Kinetic Edge on October 24 is for anyone who wants to move better or feel better. The event is particularly beneficial for people suffering from lower back pain, arthritis, sciatica, neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain, knee pain or problems walking.

If you are having pain or problems with day to day activities such as walking, standing, sitting for long periods, going up or down steps, getting in and out of the car, sleeping or driving, then Kinetic Edge welcomes you to take advantage of this opportunity. Schedule a free screen to see one of their movement experts and find out the cause of your problem.
