Physical Therapy 101

If you are experiencing pain due to an injury, a chronic condition, or any other reason, we encourage you to make an appointment at one of our three offices to discuss your care options, which may include physical therapy. In this article, we’ll provide an overview of what physical therapy involves and how it can help you.

  • Evaluation – The first step in a physical therapy program is to evaluate your current condition. Our trained staff members will ask you questions and conduct a few tests to assess your current fitness levels, mobility, and pain levels. Once we have all the information we need, we’ll use this information to create a personalized therapy plan to address your musculoskeletal issues.
  • Physical Therapy Sessions – The goal of physical therapy is to help you improve your mobility and fitness so that you can recover from your injuries and avoid suffering from new ones. Physical therapy is also a great tool for managing chronic conditions. At each session, our team members will coach you through various stretches and exercises to help you ease tension and build strength, which will help you regain mobility and move with less pain and more confidence over time.
  • Benefits – Physical therapy sessions can offer a wide range of great benefits. As we mentioned above, it helps improve mobility, reduce pain, and aids in recovery. In addition, it can help you avoid injuring yourself in the future by strengthening your muscles and improving your flexibility.
