Are you uncertain if physical therapy is the right treatment option for you? Consider these facts...
1) Physical therapy provides you with better health education.Your primary care physician can provide you with an accurate diagnosis for any health condition you may experience. However, a qualified physical therapist can better explain the impact of the condition(s) on your body, as well as treatment options and how to prevent further injury or illness.
2) Physical therapy greatly improves your overall health and fitness.When you attend a physical therapy session, you're doing much more than just treating and injury or ailment. You're giving your body the activity and exercise it needs to function at an optimal level. Our patients have reported regulated blood pressure, increased energy, and weight loss.
3) Physical therapy can improve your mental and emotional frame-of-mind.It's a scientific fact that regular physical activity causes your body to release endorphins, creating more energy and giving you a feeling of well-being and relaxation. Additionally, once you experience results from your treatment, your sense of self-esteem will improve greatly.
4) Physical therapy allows your ailments and/or injuries to heal properly.Using muscles and joints surrounding an injured area increases muscle mass, bone density, blood flow, and range-of-motion. This in turn promotes your body's natural ability to heal itself, reduces inflammation, and speeds up recovery time.
5) Physical therapy can restore the majority of your mobility and independence.Regular therapy sessions not only promote healing, but retrain your brain and body to work together. With perseverence and dedication to your physical therapy program, you can recondition your body and regain your independence.
