Why Does it Still Hurt?
Why Does it Still Hurt? Understanding Pain, Tension, & Your Nervous System
with Dr. Steven Lagasse
Release Westborough
Wednesday, October 28th from 5:30 – 8:30 pm
Have you ever wondered why something can still hurt long after an injury has healed? Or why stress, poor sleep, or even the way we think about pain can make our bodies feel tighter, more sensitive, or just…off?
Join Dr. Steven Lagasse, Doctor of Physical Therapy and owner of JointWorks Physical Therapy, for an engaging and approachable conversation about pain, tension, and the nervous system. Together, we’ll explore why pain doesn’t always mean something is damaged, how your nervous system influences the way you experience pain, and what you can do to help your body feel and move better.
We’ll also take a closer look at some of the tools physical therapists use to help people recover, including movement, hands-on treatment, and dry needling. You’ll leave with a better understanding of your body, a few new ways to think about pain, and more confidence in knowing what to do when something doesn’t feel right.
Following the workshop, stick around for a complimentary 15-minute Personalized PT Session with Steven. Bring a nagging ache, movement limitation, or area of tension you’ve been wondering about. In your 15 minutes, Steven will take a quick look at what’s going on, answer your questions, and use targeted hands-on treatment to see what you can improve in real time. Outside of your session, you’ll have access to our Bliss area including our Red Light Sauna, Eucalyptus Steam Room, Cold Plunge tubs, Mineral Spa tub, and Himalayan Salt Room.
Whether you’re dealing with a stubborn ache or simply curious about how your body works, this is an opportunity to learn something new, experience physical therapy firsthand, and leave feeling a little better than when you walked in.
