How do physical therapists help people

When a physical therapist recognizes these impairments, they will create a therapeutic regimen to target those areas and potentially reduce the likelihood of injury.

Unfortunately, all injuries are not avoidable, however like anything in life it is always better to be proactive! It is widely known that falls among the elderly are prevalent, dangerous, and can disastrously impact their quality of life. Physical therapists can help prevent falls with evaluation and development of custom treatment plans including exercises to improve strength, mobility, and balance.

As well provide education to patients and their loved ones highlighting simple ways to reduce fall risk at home. The benefits of physical therapy in totality would be challenging to fit in just one short writeup, however I hope this has been informative to those who may not have known the importance of physical therapy.

As someone that has worked in the field as well been a patient, I have seen the benefits first hand. If you would like more information on whether physical therapy is right for you, consult with your medical doctor, orthopedist, or just come down to any of our therapy offices and we would be happy to talk with you!

Physical therapists: Diagnose and manage movement dysfunction and enhance physical and functional abilities. Restore, maintain, and promote not only optimal physical function but optimal wellness and fitness and optimal quality of life as it relates to movement and health.

Physical therapists are specialists skilled and educated in proper rehabilitation methods. They are knowledgeable about surgical procedures and treatment goals and work closely with your referring physician in order to develop individualized rehabilitation programs.

Physical therapists blend their knowledge about surgical procedures and rehabilitation with what they identify about your body—providing the ultimate customized care. They will look at your movement patterns, habits, and limitations; evaluate your rate of healing; and design a program that will help you return to action. Whether you undergo surgery or not, physical therapy is an important component of recovering from an injury. It is an important component of recovering from any injury.
