Why Is Physical Therapy Important?
Certain illnesses and injuries can cause you to lose range of motion, mobility,
and strength which can lead to pain or the inability to perform activities
you enjoy. Whether you undergo surgery or not, physical therapy is a critical
component of ensuring you make a full recovery from an injury.
Your physical therapist will develop a customized treatment plan that will:
Reduce pain and inflammation
Improve surgical outcomes by addressing pain, scar tissue, strength, range
of motion, and more
Help fix faulty movement patterns by addressing underlying issues that
are causing pain
Make corrections to movement patterns to prevent ongoing problems
Use stretching and manual techniques to prevent the build-up of scar tissue
Improve flexibility and range of motion through stretching tight muscles
and joints
Strengthen muscles associated with your injury, which can help reduce pain
and strain on your joints
