When an injury or illness has left you in pain or with limited mobility, physical therapy can help you recover faster and get back on track. According to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), physical therapy is used to help people of all ages and medical conditions achieve optimal movement and function.
Physical therapy involves customizing simple movements and exercises for each patient to follow on a regular schedule. Exercises may be done with a therapist in our office and then continued at home. These movements are designed to increase range of motion, strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce pain.
As a non-invasive and conservative approach to managing conditions, physical therapy is often one of the first modalities prescribed by orthopedic specialists. Research published in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy consistently demonstrates the effectiveness of physical therapy in improving patient outcomes.
