Benefits of Physical Therapy
Physical therapy brings a whole host of benefits that can help improve your life. Here are just a few:
- Ease pain: Innovative techniques and therapeutic exercises provided by physical therapy can relieve pain and restore muscle and joint function to reduce aches. Often, these methods can even prevent pain from returning without the need for more invasive pain management treatment.
- Avoid surgery: By eliminating pain or aiding in the healing of an injury, surgery might not be necessary. And even if surgery is required, physical therapy before and after the procedure can help you recover faster.
- Improve mobility: If you’re having trouble standing, walking, or moving, no matter your age, physical therapy can help. Stretching and strengthening exercises can help restore your ability to move. Additionally, our physical therapists can properly fit individuals with a cane, crutches, or any other assistive device that might be needed.
- Improve balance: When you begin physical therapy, you will get screened for fall risk. If you're at high risk for falls, our therapists will guide you through exercises that safely and carefully challenge your balance to mimic real-life situations. Our therapists can also help you with exercises to improve coordination and assistive devices to help with safer walking.
Physical therapy rehabilitation can offer relief and treatment for a variety of conditions, including but not limited to chronic pain, sports injuries, arthritis, and even neurological disorders like Parkinson’s Disease or multiple sclerosis. It’s a personalized approach to health care, catered to each patient's individual needs and circumstances.
