This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as running their usual 5k route without knee pain with a new lease on life.
• Moshu frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of my infant having a tilted head or a flat spot on their head (torticollis/plagiocephaly). A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets a return to intimacy without the fear of pain or discomfort and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like comfortably cooking and meal prepping for their family.
• Living with recovering my strength and energy after being very sick (like with pneumonia or Long COVID) doesn't have to be your norm.
