Watch this short video for the 3 main reasons you’d benefit from orthopedic physical therapy.
after a Blowout Injury
The first is the reason most people associate with physical therapy - a serious injury that disrupts your life suddenly. Physical therapy serves as necessary recovery from major setbacks like surgery, sprains, or “throwing your back out.”
when your body needs a Tune-Up
Many people wait until their discomfort becomes chronic pain before they pursue physical therapy. However, we suggest coming a lot sooner.
We can help prevent a “blowout injury” by addressing your aches and pains when they first start affecting your ability to move, sleep or exercise normally.
You can also take advantage of a quick 1-2 visit tune-up when you have a competition coming up and want to work out smaller issues before the big day!
to prevent injury
What if you could prevent any pain or discomfort in training or daily life before it even happens? Well, physical therapy can help with that. Work with a PT to avoid injury, loss of movement or even surgery through:
Assessing overall movement patterns to uncover weaknesses and then address those issues together
Creating a program to avoid sport-specific or age-related risk
Evaluating or prescribing training programs that minimize injury
