National Stress Awareness Day, on every first Wednesday in November — November 3 this year — is 24 hours of reinforcing the fact that you’re not doing yourself a favor by stressing about situations you can’t control. In fact, according to science, chronic stress leads to impaired cognitive and physiological functions.
National Stress Awareness Day is a sponsored event by the International Stress Management Association (ISMA), which is a registered charity promoting knowledge about stress, best practices for stress management, well-being, and performance that are recognized nationally and internationally as well.
Chronic stress, that is, failure to deal with it for a long time and remaining in a prolonged and constant feeling of stress can lead to life-threatening problems. From hypertension, heart diseases, decreased immunity, loss of sociability, and decreased mental vitality, stress is not to be taken lightly!
At Scerbo, our physical therapists are movement experts who specialize in hands-on care, patient education, and prescribed movement. Call us to learn how our physical therapists can help assess your stress levels, reduce pain and improve your overall well-being.

Pain Awareness Month 2021!
It’s Time to Make Pain Count
The U.S. Pain Foundation seeks to raise awareness on the critical issues facing 50 million Americans living with chronic pain this September during Pain Awareness Month.
Understanding more about the underlying causes of pain can help improve treatments and alleviate suffering. Chronic pain is pain that persists for most days or every day for six months or more — for some, it can last a lifetime. Chronic pain is different for every person, from the initial underlying cause to what it feels like. Chronic pain can take your energy and prevent you from doing the things you want or need to do.
However, physical therapy can play an important role in pain management through the various types of therapies and techniques that are used daily. The exercise specialists, at Scerbo Physical Therapists & Sports Rehabilitation, can use various forms of exercise as a therapeutic modality that not only promotes and restores normal function of all bodily systems but as a primary pain management tool as well.
