Our physical therapists can teach you warm-up routines that utilize light weights, resistance bands, or targeted stretches to get your body ready for physical activity. Some light cardio can also be beneficial in your warm-up routine so that your muscle cells become oxygenated and ready to work. Maintaining proper form during your warm-ups is one of the main keys to avoiding injury. Your physical therapist will analyze your form to make sure you’re doing everything correctly in order to maximize results during your workout and help you get the most out of it. Warming up can make all the difference for those who are aging and active. A physical therapist can help you figure out where your problem areas are, so you can perform the correct warm-up routine for your needs. A routine that consists of a combination of exercises, stretches, and pain-relieving techniques that target areas where injuries are likely to occur is one of the best ways to avoid injury in the aging and active adult. Your physical therapist can also help you target poor techniques and correct them. Focus will be on the areas of your body that are repeatedly stressed and overused by your sport or exercise, thus determining your likelihood of injury and suggesting the best warm- up techniques for keeping you safe during physical activity. How Can a Physical Therapist Help Me with My Warm-Ups? PATIENT SPOTLIGHT "Pittman Physical Therapy has been there since the beginning of my injury adventures. Recently, I attended a basketball camp with my team at Briarcrest and dislocated my knee. Previously, Pittman had helped me recover from a foot surgery, so of course I went straight to them to help me with my knee recovery. I tried not to have surgery, but if I wanted to play Basketball my sophomore season, Dr. Biggers and my PT said I would have to have surgery. I was told that I would have a 6 month recovery, but with the help of my physical therapists and the hard work I put in, I fully recovered in 4 1/2 months. I worked with Mallory, Jeff, Tessa, Maranda, and a few other people in the practice. I will forever be thankful for the hard work they put into helping me play the sport I love most."
