ENJOY SUMMER FUN WITHOUT PAIN PHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP!
Are you tired of dealing with aches and pains and just want to enjoy your summer? Does the pleasant weather make it harder to keep up with your physical therapy appointments? With the summer months upon us, we understand that many of our patients will be busy and may not have the time they used to. At FYZICAL, our highly skilled therapists will help you resolve your problems so you can do the things you have been looking forward to this summer! Too often, the trend for many patients is to opt out of their physical therapy sessions in the summer months. While we understand the busy summer schedules with vacations, work, preparing children for summer camps, etc., stopping your physical therapy too soon can regress the current issue and the development of a new injury. One of the most common causes of an injury is a previous injury or not resolving one issue fully. We want you to be safe, healthy, and pain-free in the summer months – so you can enjoy the warm weather without pain! At FYZICAL, we will work around your busy schedule to find a time that works best for you – so you can still get all your summer activities done while still taking care of yourself and continuing your physical therapy sessions! Don’t hesitate to call us today for more information on keeping physical therapy sessions as part of your routine during the busy summer months. Physical therapy is worth your time, even in the summer. When it comes to physical therapy, you’ll see benefits if you put in the time and the work. Research has shown that people who receive physical therapy soon after developing pain or sustaining an injury
will have better outcomes. Physical therapy has been shown to reduce the likelihood of surgery, opioids, or unnecessary testing. If you are looking to keep your physical therapy sessions as part of your routine, we can find a way to help you fit that into your busy schedule. When it comes to results, consistency is the key. People that persist have the best outcomes. Starting and stopping or putting off therapy and hoping you will get better are likely to lead to chronic pain or new injuries. Chronic pain lasts longer than normal tissue healing time (i.e., three months). Chronic conditions lead to physical disability, mental anxiety and depression, and a poor quality of life. Physical therapy is one of the most effective ways to resolve your pain and prevent it from becoming chronic. Even if you aren’t dealing with chronic pain, physical therapy can help you. Time and time again, studies have shown that physical therapy not only helps resolve injury or pain it leads to improved health and overall well-being. If you have been attending physical therapy, there are two primary reasons to stop. 1. You’ve reached your goals: Once you and your therapist are satisfied with your success, it’s time to move on. 2. You’re not seeing progress: It is appropriate to stop physical therapy if you aren’t seeing results within the time frame your physical therapist recommended. Although it can be frustrating to attend regular appointments in the summertime, it is vital to your success to see your therapy out to the end!
Our mission is to prevent needless suffering & to do all in our power to help people flourish.
