4 BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL THERAPY
A physical therapist can educate you about ways to move safer, 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 overall functional mobility and activity tolerance, essential for work, leisure, and simple daily functions. • 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 weaknesses, 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 injuries, you will receive rehabilitation benefits 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! • Physical therapy can help you reduce the risk of injury: By implementing a holistic approach, we can improve and restore your function and prevent injuries. This may include all components of typical physical therapy and include gait modifications and coordination exercises to stimulate the nervous system and help ensure your mechanics are ideal to avoid an injury.

“I have been seeing Eric Bayer at Reddy Care since February for PT related to my broken femur. He has taken me from a wheelchair to walking without any assistance. Without his adding additional exercises that he felt I needed, I would not be able to move on from my PT sessions. He knows when to add as well as to back off when he sees I may have been struggling. The entire crew at Reddy Care is excellent, as they are all willing to assist you if they see something you may be doing wrong. I would recommend Reddy Care to anyone who needs PT.” -L.R.
