Empowering through knowledge: The fight against chronic pain
Chronic pain doesn't have to be a life sentence. With the right knowledge and tools, freedom is possible. Chronic pain is pain that lasts for months or even years. It can interfere with daily life and cause depression and anxiety. Approximately 1 in 4 women in America suffers from chronic pain, and the number is even higher for those over 50. “So many people think that's part of getting older, and that's true, but it doesn't have to be the story,” Wansettler said. “When pain persists, there are ways you can rewire your brain's interpretation of the pain experience.” At the Chronic Pain Workshop, participants learn how simple lifestyle changes can have an impact. “Recovery from chronic pain is not possible with medication, and surgery is often ineffective,” he says. “You need specialized knowledge and an approach. Someone who really understands it.”
Menopause: A journey of transformation
Menopause is more than just a set of symptoms that must be endured; it marks an important transition period. Mr. Wonsettler's workshops aim to demystify this stage, providing support, education, and empowerment. “Many people feel a sense of loss when they experience the physical and emotional changes that occur during menopause. Many women feel a sense of loss when they experience the physical and emotional changes that occur during menopause. “I feel like I don't have it,” said Tira Abdallah, a physical therapist and pelvic health expert at Wonsetler Physical Therapy & Specialized Health. “We want to provide a place for people to learn about their bodies and provide access to evidence-based education and tools to build resilience,” Abdallah said. It also helps people understand the impact of proper nutrition and the role food plays in hormonal balance. She also learns about pelvic health, pain management, stress management, and sleep hygiene.
Balance: the basis of independence
Imagine being able to live without fear of falling. Wonsettler's Balance Workshop is designed to turn this into a reality and teach you how to stand strong and confident. “As a result, we want to help people think about what they can do now to avoid falling or breaking a hip,” Wansettler said. “That's a big part of why we offer these workshops.” Balance issues tend to be less obvious because people avoid situations where their stability is compromised. Understanding the root of balance problems can help you overcome obstacles. Wonsettler said his team will provide practical exercises and techniques that participants can perform at home to improve their balance.
Strength: Foundation for a vibrant life
Strength and balance are a dynamic combination of physical independence. At Wonsettler's workshops, we don't just talk about theory. It teaches you how to incorporate strength into your daily life. “Balance and strength are very closely intertwined,” Wansettler said. “If you have any deficiencies in muscle strength, you likely have problems with balance and stability as well.” Strength is a predictor of both healthspan and longevity, but you don't have to do it yourself . “We feel like we're a guide for people in the areas that we're focused on,” Wansettler said. “When you're on a journey like this, you need to find someone to give you a roadmap. Without that guide, you won't get as far as you can.”
