Physical therapists are part health care professionals and part teachers. Highly trained in human anatomy and physiology, physical therapists use a variety of techniques to diagnose movement and function problems, prescribe therapy and teach a person how to continue improving and avoid injury long after they leave the office. Physical therapy is often prescribed after an injury or surgery, but it can also be an important part of the treatment plan for disabilities, work related injuries, performance enhancement and even breathing education. One of the best ways that physical therapy can help you save money is by helping you avoid surgery. It is no secret that surgeries are expensive. By seeking out physical therapy treatments in the beginning, you’ll save an incredible amount of money. Surgeries are pricey and physical therapy is far cheaper!

Physical therapists are adept at diagnosing the root problem of a person’s functional problem. Rather than looking at the symptoms (pain, discomfort, stiffness), these professionals look at what is causing the symptoms. As a result, physical therapists perform the right type, frequency, and duration of therapy, based on goals beyond the superficial symptom. For instance, someone who comes to a physical therapist with pain in their knee may begin therapy with goals to strengthen the muscles in their leg, reduce their weight, and improve their posture. In the long run, this is actually more effective than surgery, since it helps improve your overall health, rather than treating just one specific aspect of discomfort.
