"I teach people with arthritis to move differently, so they can overcome pain and get back to doing the things they love." My guest is Dr. David Sofer. And this is a quote from his website, www.arthritishelp.info. In our conversation, he states that being diagnosed with arthritis is not a call to the wheelchair and chronic pain. Yes, arthritis is a chronic condition possibly giving us chronic pain. But 50% of those diagnosed with arthritis will not feel the pain or discomfort of this disease. He teaches the principles of movement, which breaks down the fundamentals of how we move. That helps us understand how to live with arthritis. Dr. Dave talks more about posture as well. As he states in this interview, there is no such thing as good or bad posture. Your body tends toward what is comfortable for you, to get your body to balance over your bones. And finally, we talk about how patients are diagnosed with arthritis, and how it is wearing and irregularity in your joints. His website is full of free tutorials and videos to help you help yourself understand and manage the pain of arthritis. Dr. Dave developed his unique method for relieving arthritis pain by combining his decades of clinical practice as a physical therapist and his background as a champion gymnast and springboard diver. Refining this method over thousands of treatments for arthritis patients Dr. Dave inspires and empowers them to overcome their limitations and regain the ability to do the things they love. He has shown that everyone has the ability to improve no matter their age, diagnosis, or physical ability. With the right guidance, understanding, and commitment you have the ability to feel better.
