BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL THERAPY
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
✅Physical Therapy helps manage pain
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Chronic pain can be one of the most frustrating conditions to experience, especially if the underlying cause is unknown. However, physical therapy techniques and therapeutic exercises can help mobilize your joints and soft tissue and restore muscle function, reducing aches or eliminating pain altogether.
✅Physical Therapy can help avoid surgery
----------------------------------------------------------------------
While surgery is unavoidable in some cases, physical therapy can help avoid surgery for others. By eliminating pain, assisting with healing, and improving physical health, physical therapy can help heal injured tissue and facilitate mobility all on its own, thus eliminating the need to go under the knife. And in case you’ve already had surgery, PT can get you into good shape and help you recover faster.
✅Physical Therapy can prevent injuries
-----------------------------------------------------------------
One of the key aspects of physical therapy involves assessing the weak areas in the patient’s body, and formulating a PT plan that helps strengthen these vulnerable points. By recognizing the areas of muscular or skeletal weakness, a physical therapist can analyze how likely it is that a patient will suffer injury, and create an exercise regimen that targets and strengthens weak muscle groups and joints, thus preventing future injuries in these areas.
✅Improves mobility and balance
-------------------------------------------------------
Often, after a serious injury or a big surgery, it can be hard for patients to get back on their feet. Mobility can be restricted, and simple activities like writing, eating, or balancing the body can prove to be a challenge. This is when physical therapy comes in handy. Therapeutic exercises can restore mobility, make walking and moving around safer, and can even improve coordination and balance in patients who are at high risk for falls.
✅Help to tackle general health issues
---------------------------------------------------------------
One of the less obvious advantages of physical therapy is that it helps handle and manage many age-related health problems including joint pains, arthritis, and osteoporosis. PT is a safer and more conservative approach for older patients, as it gives them a less traumatic alternative than undergoing joint replacement surgery.
✅Helps to recover from a stroke
------------------------------------------------------
Often it's common to lost partial movement after a stroke. PT can help strength those parts of your body to help improve posture, balance and also helps the patients ability to be more independant around the home.
✅PT can help manage age related issues
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Many times as an individual ages throughout their life, many people may develop arthritis and osteoporosis. Physical therapy can help alleviate the pain and help recover from for example getting a knee, hip or joint replacement.
✅Physical Therapy can help maximize your movement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Physical therapists are able to identify, diagnose and treat movement related issues. Each treatment plan is custom designed for each person's individual challenges and outcome goals. The benefit of physical therapy can help you live pain free and increase your quality of life. Your physical therapist also should work collaboratively with the patient.
✅Less dependance in pain medication
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Often when someone goes through surgery, there can be long term pain issues that need to be addressed. To reduce the risk of dependance on pain medication (mainly opioids), physical therapy is often a great safe alternative choice to address the pain issues from surgery.
Physical Therapy can help manage heart and lung disease
✅Physical Therapy can help manage diabetes and vascular conditions
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Physical therapists can often create an individual management plan for managing diabetes and vascular conditions. Physical therapy can help manage your blood sugar through exercise.
✅Physical Therapy can help regain original capabilties
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Many times as part of the healing process through physical therapy one is able to regain capabilities that were once lost. Although this does not happen quickly, after a few years of physical therapy under the supervision of an expert physical therapist.
✅ Helps to Recover from or prevent a sports injury.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Physical therapists understand how different sports can increase your risk for specific types of injuries (such as stress fractures for distance runners). They can design appropriate recovery or prevention exercise programs for you to ensure a safe return to your sport.
