Physical therapy is not always everybody’s first choice of treatment. Often, people who have suffered injuries and chronic pain or restricted mobility prefer surgery to physical therapy. However, most primary care doctors refer patients to a physical therapist as the first course of action, because it is the least intrusive approach. Physical therapy also has several other benefits that can prove to be as effective as other courses of treatment, or even better. Chronic pain can be one of the most frustrating conditions to experience, especially if the underlying cause is unknown. However, physical therapy techniques and therapeutic exercises can help mobilize your joints and soft tissue and restore muscle function, reducing aches or eliminating pain altogether. And when patients continue to perform the prescribed physical exercises regularly, it can keep the pain from returning without surgery or medication. Because physical therapy is not merely an alternative course of treatment; it offers varied benefits for people from all walks of life, right from athletes to people suffering from a range of health issues.
