Who needs physical therapy?
Physical therapy is a suitable option for a variety of health conditions. Most commonly, it is used in rehabilitation following an injury or surgery. This includes sports injuries, work injuries, and auto injuries. It's also useful for people experiencing certain types of chronic pain. Chronic and acute musculoskeletal issues such as fractures and arthritis, as well as neurological issues such as nerve disorders, strokes, and Parkinson's disease, can all improve with the help of physical therapy. If you're unsure whether this treatment could help your specific case, ask a trusted medical professional.
What is physical therapy?
Physical therapy is a treatment that involves the use of targeted exercises, manual manipulation, massage, and education to help a patient recover or improve their physical function. It's a versatile treatment since it can improve strength, flexibility, or any other metric your provider may recommend. A physical therapy provider must be specifically licensed in the skill since they need to be able to identify nuanced issues like muscle imbalances.
