WHAT IS PHYSICAL THERAPY AND WHY CAN IT BENEFIT ME?
BREAKING DOWN THE COMMON MISCONCEPTION THAT PHYSICAL THERAPY IS ONLY FOR THOSE WHO BROKE SOMETHING AND/OR HAD SURGERY
Apart from the amplitude of benefits we can get from therapy, one of the biggest enjoyments of physical therapy is how personal it is. Each individual is treated based on how they present and feel. Your therapist is always available to check in, answer your questions and track your progress each week as compared to your doctor who you may have to wait weeks sometimes months to see. Here at Physical Therapy Now we aim to give each patient an out of this world experience. We have a very knowledgeable, professional and fun team who is passionate about what they do and is dedicated to getting each patient back to 100 percent.
I HAVE NO INJURY OR DISEASE, DOES THAT MEAN I DO NOT NEED PHYSICAL THERAPY?
Physical therapy is beneficial in treating chronic health conditions and disabilities, helping to improve a better quality of living. It can help promote injury prevention in sports, exercise, as well as in the workplace. Physical Therapy helps to improve strength and conditioning and restore function and movement, as well as to avoid surgery and relieve pain therefore improving long term health.
I GO TO A GYM WITH A TRAINER ALREADY, SHOULD I STILL TRY PT?
While personal trainers and physical therapists both utilize exercise and movement to help people, a physical therapist is better trained to treat specific conditions and injuries. A physical therapist works with you to address any existing injuries or painful conditions you are experiencing. Therefore, if you’re experiencing any pain or discomfort, you should always see a physical therapist prior to beginning a work-out routine with a personal trainer.
Physical Therapy has also been proven to even help alongside your personal training, assisting in muscle spasms and rehabilitation, improving range of motion, as well as injury prevention.
