Rose emphasized that patients “will get the rehab and performance experience all in one place.”

Dr. Press discussed the priority to make care at HSS convenient and accessible to the community. “One of the goals is to make access to care easier when you need it, and we can be as close to people as possible.” He added that especially with recent shift in schedules for most people, being able to provide telehealth as well as later hours and weekend availability opens that access even more.

“As you know very well, our world lives in front of us. We’re always on our phones, we’re on our electronics and that lends ourselves to always being forward,” said Rose.

“We have to make sure that we pay attention to our alignment and posture, and use our upper back muscles so that we can balance it out,” explained Rose who added that these muscle imbalances cause the aches and pains in our upper back.

Women’s Health spoke to Dana Rose PT, DPT, OCS, SFMA, physical therapist at HSS, who has observed this trend come to life. “Overall, I’ve noticed an increase in upper-back pain in women patients.” Movement as therapy, even if it’s a short walk every 30 minutes, will help your muscles function efficiently and take pressure off your joints. Rose adds, they [muscles] will become tired if they’re stuck in a passive position day in and day out.
