Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or looking to enhance your fitness, PT can help. At LIVE EVERY DAY, we approach each session with a focus on personal connection and expertise, blending compassion and cutting-edge evidence-based techniques to guide you toward your goals.

PT is all about unlocking your body’s potential. Our physical therapists are skilled in identifying the root causes of pain and mobility issues, then crafting a personalized plan to help you heal, grow stronger, and move more freely. From managing pain to avoiding surgery or long-term medication, PT provides an effective, natural path to recovery and well-being.

Pain Science Program

The Pain Science Program at LIVE EVERY DAY empowers individuals to take control of their pain through a deep understanding of how pain works and what influences it. Led by Bri Kerr, PT OCS, this one of a kind program explores the latest science on pain, addressing its emotional, cognitive, and physiological components. Pain is an output from the brain, not always a sign of damage, and this program teaches participants how to understand and retrain their pain system.

Through a flexible mix of virtual, live, and small group sessions, participants can engage in 1:1 guidance or group learning, tailored to their specific needs. They’ll explore strategies like graded exposure, cognitive restructuring, and mindfulness to reduce chronic pain and improve daily function. Whether you’re managing long-term pain or recovering from a recent injury, this program offers a holistic, evidence-based approach to help you take back control of your life.

Return to Wellness

The Return to Wellness Program at LIVE EVERY DAY, led by Fletcher Comment (fcomment@liveeveryday.org), is designed to help patients transition from physical therapy to a sustainable, fitness-oriented lifestyle. Over the course of 8 weeks, participants work with Fletcher and his team 1:1, twice a week, to develop gym-based exercise routines tailored to their specific needs and goals. This program focuses on breaking down barriers to consistent movement and building healthy habits that support long-term wellness. Exercise is not just a part of recovery—it’s a key to ongoing health and vitality.

By partnering with the Farmington Valley YMCA, we combine our physical therapy expertise with state-of-the-art gym resources, allowing patients to experience the best of both worlds. Fletcher’s background in movement science and sports provides the foundation for this program, ensuring that patients gain the confidence and tools needed to maintain their physical health long after therapy ends. The Return to Wellness Program empowers individuals to incorporate exercise into their daily lives, breaking the cycle of inactivity and fostering lifelong habits of movement.

Scoliosis Care

The Scoliosis Care Program at LIVE EVERY DAY was created out of a need to manage the long-term effects of scoliosis as individuals age, recognizing that adult patients often face musculoskeletal and respiratory complications that require specialized care. While much attention in healthcare focuses on youth with scoliosis, we prioritized elevating our expertise to address the unique challenges of adulthood. Katie Lauder, now our scoliosis lead, has undergone Level 1 Rigo Concept BSPTS training, which equips her with advanced skills in conservative scoliosis management. This approach allows us to provide individualized, evidence-based care tailored to the complexities of adult scoliosis.

Katie’s training enables her to guide patients through targeted therapies that aim to improve posture, enhance respiratory function, and mitigate discomfort associated with scoliosis. This program offers personalized care plans designed to address the physical impacts of scoliosis and help patients lead healthier, more comfortable lives as they age. Our commitment to lifelong care ensures that patients dealing with scoliosis receive the support they need at every stage of life.

For more information or to schedule a consultation, please contact Katie Lauder at klauder@liveeveryday.org.

With LIVE EVERY DAY’s presence in athletic-rich environments like Ethel Walker High School and Springfield College, the Sports SIG is laying the foundation for the future LIVE EVERY DAY Sports Medicine division, aiming to expand knowledge, resources, and patient care.
