Are You Treating the Root Cause or Just the Symptoms?

Pain often feels like the biggest issue in our lives—but the truth is, pain isn’t the problem. It’s your body’s signal that something deeper is going on.

By the time pain shows up—whether it’s jaw pain, back tightness, or hip stiffness—your body has likely been compensating for weeks, months, or even years. At R3 Physio in Keller, we look beyond the pain to uncover why it’s there in the first place.

What Could Be Hiding Behind Your Pain?

Pain is the messenger—not the root cause. Here are a few common sources we uncover during evaluations:

1. Old Injuries
That sprained ankle from years ago? It may still be impacting your movement and causing pain in your hip, knee, or back today.

2. Post-Illness Fascial Restrictions
After illness, your fascia (the body’s connective tissue network) can become tight and restricted, which may limit mobility and create compensations.

3. Chronic Stress
Long-term physical or emotional stress can overload your nervous system, leading to dysfunction and persistent pain.

The Body is an Interconnected System

At R3 Physio, we practice a holistic, systems-based approach to physical therapy in Keller. This means:
- We listen to your story and review your full health history.
- We assess the entire body, not just the painful area.
- We treat using a combination of manual therapy, movement retraining, airway-focused therapy, and visceral manipulation.
