Physical therapy is a type of healthcare that helps you recover from injuries, manage pain, and improve movement. It uses exercises, stretches, and other techniques to help your body heal and function better.
Physical therapy can help with a wide range of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, arthritis, joint pain, and recovery after surgery. It’s also great for improving balance and preventing falls
In many cases, physical therapy can help reduce pain and improve function, which might help you avoid surgery. However, this depends on your specific condition. Your physical therapist can discuss this with you during your evaluation.
Physical therapy should not be painful, but some exercises and treatments may cause mild discomfort as you work through your injury or condition. Your therapist will work with you to ensure the exercises are manageable and help you improve.
Sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your specific needs and treatment plan.
The number of sessions you need will depend on your condition and how quickly you progress. Your physical therapist will give you an idea of how many sessions might be necessary during your first visit.
