Therapeutic exercises and manual therapy techniques can restore muscle, increase joint function and improve mobility. But, thats not all, folks! Check out these three reasons why physical therapy IS for you.
#1 Take Care of Your Body Its The Only Place that will be with You Forever!
Physical therapy can help improve many areas of your health including:
Diabetes: Exercise can help effectively control blood sugar and help with proper foot and leg care
Heart Disease: Improve blood flow and increase daily function of your heart
Lung Disease: Condition and strengthen pulmonary flow
Age Related Issues: Manage arthritis, improve function after joint replacement, and increase range of motion
Womens and Mens Health: Increase pelvic floor strength, address bowel incontinence, constipation, urinary incontinence and male pelvic pain
#2 Dont Let Aging Get You Down Its too Hard to Get Back Up!
Physical therapists can help in risk reduction and prevention of falls through balance training, strength training, endurance training and patient education.
Through physical therapy, you can:
Increase your balance
Restore vestibular function
Train with an assistive device such as a cane or walker
Work to eliminate dizziness
#3 Preparation = No Operation!
Physical therapy can be an effective alternative to surgery for lower back pain and other conditions. It can also help you recover from injury which in turn reduces your need for future surgeries. Prehabiliation therapy before surgery can also help improve your surgical outcomes, provide a quicker recovery time, less pain, shorter hospital stays, and improved quality of life. Also, by reducing your need for surgery through physical therapy, you can help control your own healthcare costs. Dont let a major surgery sideline you let physical therapy keep you in the game!
