One-Size-Fits-All Doesn’t Fit Your Pain: The Risks of Social Media Health Advice

Jul20th 2025

Social media has become a powerful platform for sharing health tips, workout routines, and quick-fix remedies. In today’s social media culture, we often see health advice, exercise routines, and treatment hacks presented as “one size fits all” solutions. But the reality is, what works for one person may not work for another—and in some cases, it can make your pain and suffering worse. 

For example:

  • A stretch that helps one person’s back pain could worsen a disc injury in someone else.
  • A viral exercise for knee pain might aggravate arthritis or ligament damage.
  • Recommendations for posture correction could actually increase tension or nerve irritation in certain individuals.

The human body is wonderfully unique. Things like your age, activity level, posture habits, prior injuries, muscle strength, joint mobility, and even stress levels all affect how your body responds to treatment. What helps one person feel better might increase pain in another person. Healing isn’t about trends, it’s about understanding your body’s needs today, not what worked for someone else yesterday.

Why a Personalized Approach Matters

That’s why at Jeevam Therapy, we believe in personalized care, not quick fixes. Our licensed physical therapist performs a thorough evaluation to understand the root cause of your symptoms and guides you through safe, effective treatment options tailored specifically to your body.

Health content on social media and blogs—including ours—is meant to educate and raise awareness, not to diagnose or treat your condition directly. Without an individualized assessment, there’s a real risk of:

  • Misdiagnosing your problem
  • Performing the wrong exercises
  • Ignoring red flags that require medical attention
  • Delaying proper treatment, leading to chronic pain or compensations in other areas of the body

The reality is, there is no one-size-fits-all treatment for pain. Healing takes time, understanding, and the right approach. Physical therapy is a process of listening to your body, learning what helps, and gradually restoring movement and strength in a way that fits your life.

If you’re in pain, don’t settle for generic advice. Trust a care team that takes the time to know you. At Jeevam Therapy, we’re here to help you find what works for your body—because your health deserves nothing less. Book your appointment now at jeevamtherapy.com or call us to get started.
