A physical therapist can educate you about ways to move safer ways that use your energy more efficiently, reduce the risk of re-injury and enhance the overall effects of your care. The benefits of physical therapy treatments include easing pain, reducing spasms, increasing circulation, and promoting healing. Physical therapy can help improve your joint range of motion and overall mobility: Our ability to move depends on how individual joints move and how the body's joints move in concert with one another. Increasing joint range of motion and mobility of the connective tissues around your joints (including the tendons, muscles, fascia, and joint capsules) will help your joints feel better and move better. This will also help you improve your overall functional mobility and activity tolerance, essential for work, leisure, and simple daily function. Physical therapy can help strengthen weaknesses and compensation patterns: Through injury or surgery, muscles become weak and impact your ability to move and function normally. For some, an old injury or abnormal movement pattern has led to weakness due to compensations. Physical therapists are skilled at assessing the whole body, identifying weakness, and teaching how to restore strength and function. Physical therapy can improve your overall health and well-being: When you see a physical therapist for pain and/or injuries, you will receive the benefits of rehabilitation to resolve the condition and a total body approach to health. Physical therapists can recommend nutrition to improve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve overall health. In addition, physical therapists are movement experts and trained to help you move/exercise more, no matter your limitations or restrictions. More activity equals improved health!
