Think like a P.T.

This blog gives practical tips on how to avoid pain! To do so, you must start to think like a PT (Physical Therapist). I talk about health, wellness, pain, injuries, weight loss, healthy eating, postures, body mechanics, and much more! Pain Talks is my consulting business since 2018, in which I help companies with loss prevention and injury prevention; to find out more, please check out my website, PainTalks.org.

About Me

Liz Navarrete: I graduated from Medical University of South Carolina in 2006 with a Master of Science in Physical Therapy. Prior to that I studied Spanish at King College, with a minor in Missions. Since 2006, I have performed over 25,000 therapy sessions. I currently work in an outpatient rehab setting, specializing in the McKenzie method (MDT/Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy) for spine and joint pain. Other clinical focus areas include musculoskeletal disorders, work injuries, and motor vehicle accidents. In January 2018, I started Pain Talks, which provides ergonomics consulting and injury prevention services to local companies, targeting manufacturing, construction, and other high-risk employers. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, exercising, writing, painting, and studying the Bible.
