We all feel occasional aches and pains, whether after a long day, yardwork, or a tough workout. But how can you tell if that discomfort is ordinary soreness or something more serious? At McMahon Physical Therapy people often ask if their pain is normal, or if they should start to worry. The answer isn’t always straightforward, but we’re here to help you recognize the signs and know when to see a physical therapist.
For the most part, traveling should be fun, something to anticipate! Regrettably, for many, particularly those with back pain, lengthy car rides or flights can be uncomfortable and sometimes painful.

The good news? There are a few easy strategies you can implement to help your pain while on the road.
As days in Atoka and the rest of the MidSouth get longer and the weather finally starts to warm up, many of us are eager to head back outside and enjoy our favorite sports.
