024 Harmful Effects of Sitting on Your Body

Our conversation today is with Shaheen Siddiqui. She has been a physical therapist for 17 years. In the past, she worked in typical outpatient physical therapy clinics, where she was seeing 4 people every hour.  But, she always felt there had to be a better way - because she always felt so rushed with each patient.  She took a leap of faith and opened her practice 4 years ago Crossroads Orthopedic Physical Therapy - in Chandler, Arizona.  She works with adults and athletes to help them get back to doing what they love - pain free!  The wonderful things is that she is now able to work with one patient per hour, and this allows her to truly provide better quality care for each patient ...helping them get back to a pain free life. She lives in Chandler, AZ with her husband and 4 kids. They love to travel, explore, and stay active!
