It’s National Physical Therapy Month... Are YOU In Tune With Your Health?
3. You can learn to move without limits again. According to the Arthritis Foundation, exercise is one of the best ways to manage hip pain and knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. Your physical therapist can help you get back to regular exercise in a way that is safe and effective for you, based on your current abilities, goals, and needs. This is especially helpful if you're currently on a weight loss journey since being overweight is a major risk factor for knee and hip pain. 4. Physical therapy can uncover the underlying reasons for your pain. Many of the impairments you and your physical therapist work to correct—including weakness, poor posture, and limited range of motion—may have been caused or worsened by things you're unknowingly doing. This includes sitting too much, using poor body mechanics, breathing improperly, and having an ineffective ergonomic set-up at work. A physical therapist can educate you about ways to move safer ways that use your energy more efficiently, reduce the risk of re-injury and enhance the overall effects of your care. 5. You’ll experience improved joint health. When you see a physical therapist for hip or knee pain, there’s a good chance they’ll use joint mobilizations or manipulations to help promote healing and attract circulation to the inner joint surfaces. These techniques have also been shown to reduce pain and improve joint alignment...and they feel good, too!
Happy October! Now that fall is here, it’s time to crack out the knives for pumpkin carving, and put out bowls of candy for trick-or-treaters! Did you know that October is also National Physical Therapy Month? It’s true! OSR Physical Therapy wants to make sure that our patients have a reliable source to learnmore about themany benefits of physical therapy. Our teamof physical therapists is devoted to helping our patients recover from injuries and pain that make everyday activities way harder than they should be. OSR Physical Therapy provides high-quality rehabilitation services, and we encourage you to reach out to us if you or a loved one is in need of physical therapy! Take a break from planning out your scary costume this year and read up on these 5 reasons why physical therapy is a great option for pain relief from chronic conditions and injuries. 5 reasons to choose physical therapy. There are several reasons to choose physical therapy over pricey surgeries and medications. OSR Physical Therapy has chosen 5 of the best ones for you to consider! 1. Physical therapy can help to strengthen your joints and improve your range of motion. Increasingmuscle strength andmobility 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 can also help you improve your functional activity tolerance, which is essential for work, leisure, and simple daily function. 2. It’s a safe, holistic method of pain management/ elimination. The sad truth is that right now, we’re experiencing an opioid epidemic. People are relying so heavily on over-the-counter medications to ease their pain, they don’t realize the long-term effects these pills have on their bodies. You don't have to rely on over-the-counter or prescription painkillers to ease those achy, stiff, swollen joints! Physical therapy modalities that have been shown to ease pain, reduce spasms, increase circulation, and promote healing include electrical stimulation, diathermy, cold laser therapy, dry needling, and therapeutic ultrasound.

In recent years, National Physical Therapy Month has focused on the alternative PT offers over opioids. With opioid abuse at an all-time high -- and tragic overdoses on the rise -- alternatives to this class of prescriptionmedication are evenmore important. The National Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that opioid prescriptions have quadrupled in recent years. Yet, the number of people reporting chronic pain has not gone down. Of course, many people who have conditions like back injuries or arthritis already understand that physical therapy can increase their range-
