FINDING RELIEF FROM PAIN
When you come to a physical therapy session at Reddy Care Physical, Occupational, & Aquatic Therapy, you’re taking a significant step towards finding relief from pain and improving your overall well-being. Your first session will typically begin with questions about your medical history, the specific nature of your pain, its location, and any factors that make it better or worse. After discussing your medical history, your therapists will evaluate your posture, muscle strength, range of motion, and any areas of tenderness. They’ll also assess your movement patterns to identify any abnormalities or dysfunctions. Based on the information gathered during the evaluation, your physical therapist will work to identify the underlying issue causing your pain. This may involve determining the type of pain (e.g., nociceptive, neuropathic, or movement system-related) and its primary sources. Once your therapist has a clear understanding of your condition, they will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Our treatments may include manual therapy techniques to release tension and improve joint mobility. Exercises are another crucial component, tailored to your specific needs and designed to correct any movement dysfunctions. Education plays a vital role in empowering you with the knowledge and tools to manage your pain effectively. Patients are often fearful of making their condition worse. As a result, they often either do nothing or get so frustrated they ignore clear warning signs and push through. In either case, the result is more suffering. The key is to find a balance in the middle, where you do just enough to improve but not enough to make it worse. Our therapists will help you find that balance, guiding you through the steps you need to take to feel good again!

“I had a recent ankle injury that required surgery and a bunch of metal put in my ankle. My doctor told me at 7 weeks to try to walk and slowly get into a shoe again. Everyone said it would take some time. Within a week of physical therapy, I was walking in my sneakers again. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I can’t thank Reddy-Care enough.” - M.K.
