Physical therapy is a treatment method designed to help patients get back to their daily activities free of pain and suffering.
Recovery time can be shortened with the help of physical therapy. Injuries involving a muscle, ligament or joint can cause that part of the body to get stiff and immobile. Without proper exercise, it can take patients a long time to regain full mobility in the affected area.
Motion is essential to your quality of life. Whether it is an everyday task such as taking out the garbage, a sports activity like soccer or an essential activity like work, a physical therapist can help you get back to living the life you want. Physical therapists also help prevent injuries and promote a healthy lifestyle by improving strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination.
A physical therapist can help patients control pain, often reducing the need for long-term use of medications. Studies reveal that individuals who receive physical therapy experience greater improvement in function with less pain.
