As we grow older, many of us learn to tolerate and coexist with little faults in our musculoskeletal system. A pain in a hip that shows up when we sit for too long. A muscle in our shoulder that screams at us when we move our arm in a certain way. While a nuisance, these pains may not outweigh the hassle of getting our doctors to prescribe physical therapy and then hauling ourselves multiple times a week to perform 20 minutes of exercise at yet some other location under the watchful eye of a physical therapist. Especially not during the pandemic. So we end up just accepting them as a cost imposed by age. The good news, it’s that it’s never been easier to tap into the know-how of expert physical therapists from the comfort of our own homes. What’s even better, is that for conditions that are not too serious, much of this know-how is accessible for free. Here are a two of our favorite resources so you can get rid of these unwanted passengers: The [P]rehapGuys & No Muscle Pain
