In September we welcomed Jamie Schoen, Doctor of Physical Therapy, on to our team. Jamie is from Western Massachusetts and grew up as a ballet dancer. Before returning to graduate school she spent six years teaching Pilates to clients of all ages and physical abilities. She enjoys partnering with clients on their wellness journey, helping them find the tools they need to achieve and maintain their long-term health. We are excited to have her! If you haven’t met her yet, please introduce yourself! READ MORE!
Also, please welcome our new staff member, Diane Ramirez. She has started with us as an administrative assistant and has goals for herself to become a Physical Therapist in the future. Look for her nice smile as she greets you at Century City Physical Therapy.
Century City PT believes in educating our community to help avoid injury, regulate fitness and observe wellness. This space is dedicated to assist in this education. Please check back with us regularly for updated information on health and wellness care.
If you're like most of us, the word "floor" probably makes you think more about tile, hardwood and carpet than friendship....it's not the first place your mind goes when you think of relaxation, repose and rejuvenation.

We also extend our love and gratitude to Arlen who celebrates 9 years THIS MONTH with CCPT. Her smile and warm greetings are some of the many great strengths she shares with all of us at ccpt.
Standing desks are an exciting health trend that signals that as a society, we are becoming more aware of our physical bodies and how to take care of them. Patients frequently ask me about how changing to a stand up desk, or a transitional stand up desk unit will effect their pain. The effect of standing on specific injuries is not yet well researched. However, if you know that your pain increases when you are sitting then it may behoove you to avoid your aggravating factor, especially if your aggravating factor takes place for 8 hours at a time. The research about standing desks and pain is not very developed, but there is evidence-based information about other health benefits of using a standing desk.
