Dr. John Farahmand founded Balance Physical Therapy to help patients improve movement and manage pain.
Salinas, CA, August 31, 2020 - Dr. John Farahmand founded Balance Physical Therapy to help patients improve movement and manage pain. Yet through the years he’s found that his practice plays an important role in preventive care.
Part of the treatment at BPT includes education — helping people heal, grow and feel empowered to build a stronger, more resilient body.
Patient education, especially focused on injury prevention, is a huge element of the practice, effectively helping to reduce return visits.
Farahmand puts the topic into relatable terms.
“I always like to ask people whether they do anything to save for retirement,” he said. “When they answer ‘yes,’ and I ask them why, they say, ‘Well, because I know I'll slow down some day and I'd like to have something put away to draw from.’ ”
Making regular deposits into a “healthcare bank account” can increase long-term wellness and longevity.
“Remember, regardless of how well you take care of yourself, time will force you to make some withdrawals along the way,” said the 46-year-old founder and CEO. “We must invest in the things we want to grow. If you want to have a healthy healthcare balance, start learning to make deposits. It’s really hard to draw from an account with a zero balance.”
Part of the answer involves taking personal responsibility for ourselves.
“Stay mobile and stay fit,” he said. “Everything in your life starts with a healthy body.”
Farahmand loves the philosophy of Hollywood actor Dick Van Dyke, who’s still spry at age 94. His secret? Wake up each day and keep moving.
“I think that is right in line with our slogan at Balance Physical Therapy — Movement is Medicine,” he said. “I believe in that, heart and soul.”
To help relieve stress and stay active, Farahmand offers the following tips:
“Learn to adapt. We are humans, which means that our superhuman strength is that we are adaptable, we're malleable, we can learn new things,” he said. “We can adapt to new environments and new circumstances. These are certainly new and uncertain times but if you look inside yourself, you'd realize you have a tremendous capacity within you to adapt to anything. And it all starts with the way that you think.”
There are plenty of ways to stay physically active. Walking, gardening or biking all provide great opportunities to burn calories and create wellness.
Just 150 to 300 minutes per week of moderate-intensity or at least 75 minutes of high-intensity aerobic exercise shows substantial health benefits.
If you take care of your body, and keep making regular deposits into your healthcare “bank account,” you may never have to see Farahmand. And that’s just fine by him.

To help relieve stress and stay active, Farahmand offers the following tips:
- You don't need fancy equipment to work out: Walk, run, bike, garden … just get moving.
- Disconnect from the outside world periodically by putting down your electronic devices.
- Find a quiet place and focus on breathing and meditation, even for 10 minutes.
- Get at least 7 hours sleep; it’s an important way to regain motivation to stay active — and for the body and mind to stay healthy.
- Hug and touch and snuggle loved ones; it helps release “feel-good” hormones.
- Drink at least 32 ounces of water each day.
- Watch the sunset and sunrise, and enjoy nature’s healing powers.
- Cook your own meals at home.
- Play games (with grownups and kids) instead of sitting on the couch watching others play on TV.
- Farahmand likes to say that the most important step you can take toward fitness is the first one out your front door.
