Carlos G Aguayo - PTA, DN1

I became interested in the Physical Therapy World by experiencing my own injuries ( fractured bones, sprains and strains) as a kid playing sports, running, jumping and just doing what kids do. I was fascinated with the process of the way the body healed without therapy. As I got older I was exposed to Physical Therapy rehabilitation through following my favorite athletes from baseball and basketball being on the injury list. I often thought to myself what was the step by step process to return back to playing in an elite athletic environment.

Here at Catalyst our goal is to help relieve pain by improving quality of life by encouraging improved biomechanics, increasing strengthening and conditioning, ext. So here are a few tips, set some goals for your realistic potential outcome, ask questions about raising issues you may have throughout your rehab whether in clinic or out of clinic. Commit to your appointments and home exercise program (HEP). Manage your pain appropriately with your exercises and functional activities. Don’t over do it and most importantly recognize each progression step along the way no matter how small.
