HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP YOUR CONDITION?
• Sensory Motor Therapy – Sensory processing disorder is a condition where the brain has trouble receiving and responding to the information that comes through senses. Therapy involves exercises and activities to strengthen the child’s sense of touch (tactile), sense of balance (vestibular), and sense of where their body is in space (proprioception). • Pre or Post-Surgery - Physical therapy can benefit your physical condition both before and after a surgical procedure. Prehab physical therapy before your surgery can improve outcomes by keeping you as flexible and strong as possible before your procedure. Prehab can also shorten hospital stays and minimize potential side-effects and the chance of infection. • Women’s Health – Therapists can effectively treat dysfunctions of the pelvic floor. Physical therapy often can bring out dramatic improvement with many conditions that affect women in particular; conditions such as incontinence, pelvic pain and dysfunction, lymphedema, and more. • Balance and Vestibular – Physical activities that most of us take for granted are a constant struggle for people with balance disorders.
