PAIN! 6 Reasons why you still aren’t better

It is a scary thing when you aren’t where you want to be. These reasons might be the Why

    1. You are still waiting to see if you will get better has only been a couple of days, or weeks has it? Maybe in a few days, it will start feeling better like all the times before.
      Or it has been several months of I will wait until next week and see what happens. What has happened? If you are reading this, then probably it has either stayed awfully bad or gotten progressively worse.
      Do you think it is time to think about getting help? Find out what is happening and why.
    2. It is not bad enough… yet. The reason you might not feel you should get help is that it’s not bad enough. It could be only slightly uncomfortable right now.
      Today it is probably ok. You can manage. Your spouse’s massages seem to help.
      We both know that it could strike again at any time if it is not dealt with right the first time. Do you want to wait until it is so bad that you are now desperate? Desperate people make bad decisions.
      Do not be that person that regrets a bad choice because you were desperate.
    3. You have forgotten how bad it was been a couple days to a few weeks after your pain put you in bed and you could not get out of it. But it calmed…. Somewhat.
      It’s manageable if the pain pills keep working. IF…
      It is not that bad, you tell yourself. I think you need to be reminded why you got the painkillers in the first place. The pain came out of nowhere. It might have been your back and you could not walk. Now you can walk, well sort of.
      I do not think you want to go back there. Why wait to see if you will?
    4. You are still hoping the pills will work
      It makes sense. The pills were given to you for a reason.
      Let me just ask you, how many times have you had your pills refilled? Have you gone back to be put on stronger pain killers, and they have not helped? Or maybe they work too well. They put you to sleep and you not in pain because you are sleeping.
      Is that really the life you want to have? One that you need to take pills just makes it through the day.
    5. You might have started to realize that these pain killers have side effects. Side effects you want to avoid.
      Do you not think it is time to address the problem not the symptom and get you off those pills?
    6. Here is a link to our blog on why those pills could be making things worse and not better

    7. 5. You stopped treatment too early sessions were working, you are feeling better. You needed a few more to get you all the way there. Then life got in the way. You are feeling so good that it is no longer important to finish the treatment program.
      That is maybe why it came back. The program was not finished.
    8. 6. You are not doing what you are supposed toThe Physiotherapist said that you need to exercise a few times a week, avoid sitting too long and sit and stand with good posture.
      Have you been following the advice?
      If not, I think now is the time to start. There is no time like the present to make your life better. Do what you remember they said. If you cannot, call your physiotherapist and ask them what you should be doing.

If none of these methods has worked and you tired of hoping that next week it might be better, then Physiotherapy is usually the best solution for people just like you.

Jason

I had back pain for almost 2 years, I relied heavily on strong pain killers and I was about to do an operation, but the day I met Jason everything changed, I have healed no more pain no more taking pain killers.

Mmabatho

Jason has been the best physiotherapist. He had literally changed my life. I’ve gone to several physiotherapists before who have not been able to solve my back problem. However, with Jason he made me feel as if I can recover and in a quick time I actually did. I’d highly recommend his practice

Will

Jasons’ service has been impeccable. He is very professional, friendly and relatable to his clients.

Mathikazi

Super professional! Holistic therapy focuses on overall wellbeing over the long term. My child’s shoulder and consequently sleeping problem were properly dealt with.

Lerato

First of all, you should know how friendly he is. He isn’t as rude as the others are. Even though the treatment hurt I felt healed afterwards. Even after some days I still don’t feel the pain. He even helps distract me while he is working so it isn’t as sore. He also made me feel comfortable very quickly and that made things a lot more fun and easy.

Queen

Most informative and upfront Physio I have ever had the pleasure of receiving treatment from. He is honest and worked hard to fix my problem. Extremely satisfied with the results.

Nick

BRILLIANT. My problems were being resolved from day one. He guided me through exercises and strengthening me to prevent further injuries. I would recommend him to anyone.

Durran

BRILLIANT. My problems were being resolved from day one. He guided me through exercises and strengthening me to prevent further injuries. I would recommend him to anyone.

Durran

The treatment I got was so good. He has a magic touch because anywhere I had pain, he touched and my pain went away. The exercise we did was marvellous. The exercises we did made me feel so good. In the four days, we worked I felt great afterwards. I want to call and send my friends and family to him so he can help them.

Malatji

So I hobbled (I used to need a walking stick) into his office but now I don’t. If you’re looking for a physiotherapist who’s going to be straight with you and actually address your pain, Jason Roets should definitely be your choice. Now I walk well WITHOUT my walking stick! And no more pain!

Zinz

Jason is deeply invested in the recovery and wellbeing of his patients. He has a holistic approach and takes all factors – past and present – into account when providing treatment. He works to fix the root of problems, rather than simply treat immediate symptoms. His care and passion for what he does are undeniable

Gina

I had extreme pains in my neck. After a few sessions with Jason, I feel much relieved and pain-free. Jason is very friendly and engages with his clients in his sessions, which helps create a connection on an emotional level not only physical.

Jonathan

I think it’s the best thing I could do to treat my back pain. It took a while before I went in and I wished I when sooner. I really liked how fast he responded and wanted to see me so quickly. I also liked how the ebooks he has was really helpful that I got through seeing it on Facebook.

Charles

Jason has been great and patient with me through the journey. I have been suffering from backache and headache for a long time and he helped me for 2 weeks and already there is a huge difference. Thanks for your help 😊

Nkope

I was desperate to get help for my back. A neurosurgeon said I needed surgery but I refuse to go because there is no one to look after me while I recover. And with covid, I will not go to the hospital because that’s where you get it. I’m so glad I went to Jason because he really helped and I don’t need surgery anymore.

Jane

I would like other people to consider using him because of how much he has helped me. If you feel like you need help you should contact him I didn’t know how connected the body was and how old injures can make me have pain now. Now i don’t feel any pain and the exercises helped so much I’m no longer stiff and my back pain is gone

Sylvia

I had an injured back muscle for more than a year. I was assisted by a clinic specializing in those kinds of injuries which took a lot of sessions to relieve some of the pain. Jason’s physio treatment took 2 sessions! Thanks, Jason!

Gerhard

Excellent service! Wow! Beyond amazed at the high level of accuracy carried out through the process of my treatment. I am completely free of all the pain was experiencing! Again, Wow!

Baatseba

I advised you to do it. Because I experience the pain that I had couldn’t even allow me to walk with confidence. My pain was heavy on me. My body was so heavy. The pain was so sore. He even picked up things that I didn’t even know if had. I sleep so much better now. But now I don’t have any problems

Aldine

I had back pain for almost 2 years, I relied heavily on strong pain killers and I was about to do an operation, but the day I met Jason everything changed, I have healed no more pain no more taking pain killers.
