Physical Therapy: What it is and Why Is It Important?

Have you been planning to consult a physical therapist for your muscle injuries or health issues? Physical therapy or physiotherapy is one of the allied health professions that have shown impactful results over the decades.

According to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), physical therapists are educated and certified movement specialists. They can diagnose and treat various injuries, impairments, and diseases.

This profession and its treatment procedure emphasize clinical approaches based on scientific evidence to restore, maintain, and enhance normal physical function. So with North Haven Physical Therapy, you can exclude the risk of consuming reactive medications or ineffective treatment solutions for your physical concerns.

Here are a few reasons that make physical therapy necessary:

Ø  Reducing Pain: when it comes to pain, no one wants to face it. However, it's hard to avoid pain when you have physical injuries and muscle issues that may not even be obvious initially. This is where physical therapy can significantly help address and treat acute and chronic pain in our bodies. With soft tissue and joint mobilization, therapeutic exercise, and other physical therapy techniques, you can eliminate body pain while keeping up with your everyday routine.

Ø  Avoiding Surgery: in times of pain and impairment, the fastest option to handle and get rid of the pain is surgery. Yet, only the word 'surgery' can escalate all kinds of fears in you. Sometimes, surgeries are unavoidable, but at most, physical therapy can be your easy-way-out treatment solution from avoidable surgeries.

Ø  Resuming Your Activities: A physical therapist will examine the activity's healing process and physical limitations to build a personalized plan that will use scientifically proven approaches to get you back on your feet and resume your activity like before.

For further details and queries, it's always better to consult directly with a North Haven Physical Therapy professional.
