“It Doesn’t Hurt All the Time…” Why That’s Still a Problem

Here’s a question we hear a lot:
“It only hurts sometimes. Should I just wait it out?”

The short answer? No.

Pain that comes and goes is often your body’s early warning system. Ignore it long enough, and that whisper becomes a scream.

At Fresh Pond Physical Therapy, we help people catch those small issues before they become big problems—because proactive care beats reactive treatment every time.


What “Minor” Pain Might Actually Mean:

On-and-Off Low Back Pain
Could be a weak core, stiff hips, or poor lifting mechanics. We identify the root and teach you how to move with control—not compensation.

Knee Pain After Workouts or Stairs
Might be early-stage arthritis, muscle imbalance, or improper tracking. Our PTs use manual therapy, targeted strengthening, and joint mobilization to get you back in stride.

“I Guess I’m Just Getting Old…”
Nope. Age isn’t a diagnosis. If you’re active, you shouldn’t be in pain. We work with people 40+ to restore mobility, strength, and daily confidence.

Shoulder Pain That Flares Up Randomly
That’s often instability or impingement. We’ll improve joint control and posture, and show you how to avoid common triggers.

The Power of Proactive PT:

  • You don’t need a referral or a major injury.

  • Early treatment = faster recovery + fewer flare-ups.

  • You’ll move better, feel stronger, and prevent future breakdowns.


Don’t wait until it hurts all the time.
Get ahead of pain—and take back control of how your body feels.
