A survey released by the Los Angeles-based Screen Actors Guild indicates women actors become almost invisible in movies and on television after they reach that magic age. The survey found female members of the guild who are over 40 work approximately one day for every three worked by men in that same age group. The study also revealed over-40 guild members who are male earn 59 per cent more money per day than do their female counterparts. At 50, the guild adds, male actors earn twice as much daily as females of the same age. The sad part about this, says a member of the Women’s Conference Committee, which helped fund the study, is that “it takes 20 years to make a really good actor and that’s the moment when women disappear.”

It’s also important to know in advance exactly what the extent of that coverage is and what services are included. Treatment by a trained physical therapist provides more than just the restoration of your health. The results of this treatment also help to rebuild your self-confidence and bolster your desire to return to a normal, active, productive life. You don’t have to cripple your wallet to heal your body.
