A modified physical therapy program can aid individuals to return to their previous level of functioning, and encourage activities and routine changes that can help stop further injury and progress overall well-being and health.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A customized physical therapy program can help individuals return to their prior level of functioning, and encourage activities and lifestyle changes that can help prevent further injury and improve overall health and well-being. Primary care doctors often refer patients to physical therapy at the first sign of a problem, since it is considered a conservative approach to managing problems.<\/p>\n

Top 6 Benefits of Physical Therapy<\/strong><\/h5>\n

* Reduce or eliminate pain. <\/b>
Therapeutic exercises and manual therapy techniques such as joint and soft tissue mobilization or treatments such as ultrasound, taping or electrical stimulation can help relieve pain and restore muscle and joint function to reduce pain. Such therapies can also prevent pain from returning.<\/p>\n

* Avoid surgery
<\/strong>If physical therapy helps you eliminate pain or heal from an injury, surgery may not be needed. And even if surgery is required, you may benefit from pre-surgery physical therapy. If you are going into surgery stronger and in better shape, you will recover faster afterward in many cases. Also, by avoiding surgery, health care costs are reduced. 
<\/strong><\/p>\n

* Improve mobility<\/span><\/b>
<\/strong>If you\u2019re having trouble standing, walking, or moving\u2014no matter your age\u2014physical therapy can help. Stretching and strengthening exercises help restore your ability to move. Physical therapists can properly fit individuals with a cane, crutches, or any other assistive device, or assess for orthotic prescription. By customizing an individual care plan, whatever activity that is important to an individual\u2019s life can be practiced and adapted to ensure maximal performance and safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

* Recover from a stroke<\/span><\/b>
<\/strong>It\u2019s common to lose some degree of function and movement after a stroke. Physical therapy helps strengthen weakened parts of the body and improve gait and balance. Physical therapists can also improve stroke patients\u2019 ability to transfer and move around in bed so that they can be more independent around the home, and reduce their burden of care for toileting, bathing, dressing, and other activities of daily living.<\/span> <\/p>\n

* Recover from or prevent a sports injury<\/span><\/b>
<\/strong>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.<\/span> <\/p>\n

* Improve your balance and prevent falls<\/span><\/b>
<\/strong>When you begin physical therapy, you will get screened for fall risk. If you\u2019re at high risk for falls, therapists will provide exercises that safely and carefully challenge your balance as a way to mimic real-life situations. Therapists also help you with exercises to improve coordination and assistive devices to help with safer walking.<\/span><\/p>\n
