Why Should I Choose Physical Therapy? There are several reasons to choose physical therapy over costly surgeries and medications. Physical therapy has been shown to not only help resolve pain and improve function, but it is also effective at enhancing your overall health and well-being. One of the most significant benefits of physical therapy is that it can uncover the underlying reasons for your injuries and/or pain. Some of the impairments your physical therapist can help you correct include: • Loss of motion • Weakness • Poor posture and faulty movement patterns • Gait abnormalities • Loss of balance • Coordination deficits • Neurological impairment • Unhealthy lifestyle behaviors (i.e., poor sleep habits, improper nutrition, lack of exercise, etc.).

Benefits of Physical Therapy A physical therapist can educate you about ways to move safer that use your energy more efficiently, reduce the risk of re-injury and enhance the overall effects of your care. The benefits of physical therapy treatments include easing pain, reducing spasms, increasing circulation, and promoting healing. Physical therapy can help improve your joint range of motion and overall mobility: Our ability to move depends on how individual joints move and how the body’s joints move in concert with one another. Increasing joint range of motion and mobility of the connective tissues around your joints (including the tendons, muscles, fascia, and joint capsules) will help your joints feel better and move better. Physical therapy can help strengthen weaknesses and compensation patterns: Through injury or surgery, muscles become weak and impact your ability to move and function normally. Physical therapists are skilled at assessing the whole body, identifying weakness, and teaching how to restore strength and function. Physical therapy can improve your overall health and well-being: When you see a physical therapist for pain and/or injuries, you will receive the benefits of rehabilitation to resolve the condition and a total body approach to health. Physical therapists can recommend nutrition to improve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve overall health.
Physical therapy can help you reduce the risk of injury: By implementing a holistic approach, we can improve and restore your function and prevent injuries. This may include all components of typical physical therapy and include gait modifications and coordination exercises to stimulate the nervous system and help ensure your mechanics are ideal to avoid an injury.

4 Ways To Get the Best Results Out of Your PT Treatment
If you are currently in physical therapy, you should have a goal in mind for the end of your treatment. If it’s important to you that you finish your PT program feeling stronger and healthier, or experiencing less pain, there are many different things you can do to secure that outcome! NYPT has put together a list of ways you can get the best results from your physical therapy treatment with us. We hope you take these into consideration. Remember, if you have questions about PT, give us a call to set up an appointment! 1. Listen To The Recommendations You Get In PT We do understand that life happens and you might get busy, so if you haven’t been keeping up with your exercises, please tell your therapist so they’re aware at your next appointment. We won’t be mad! We just want to make sure we’re on the same page as you in your progress, so that your treatment schedule can be adjusted to compensate. 2. Tell Us What Hurts Your physical therapist cannot help you to feel better if they don’t know what areas of your body are bothering you. It is important to be as honest as possible about what is hurting you, or if you feel uncomfortable performing
certain exercises! Telling your therapist what activities you do on a daily basis that might be contributing to your pain is also a vital part of building out your treatment plan as well. 3. Keep Track of Your Progress Throughout PT Keeping a progress journal for your physical therapy treatment is a great way to track your results and see if there are still areas of movement that you feel limited. Your physical therapist will keep seeing you for appointments until you feel confident that every body part is working the way it should! Bring your journal with you too, because your therapist will appreciate seeing your progress as well. 4. Lead A Healthy Life Outside of PT Treatment Try to make a point to cook at home more instead of eating out. Go on evening walks with your friends or take your pet for a stroll around the neighborhood. Join a weekend sporting group. Get a bike and ride it around town instead of driving your car. There are so many ways you can lead a healthier lifestyle, and you’ll notice that the more positive changes you make, the easier PT treatment will be. Your body will feel healthier and more flexible, your energy levels will rise, and your mood will improve as well.
