National Physical Therapy Month

It’s that time of the year again; it’s National Physical Therapy month! During the month of October, we recognize the physical therapists’ that have helped improve the quality of life for their patients. Physical therapy is an effective treatment route for many different conditions and is effective in not only after surgery rehabilitation but in surgery prevention.

Physical therapy has been a practice dating back to Ancient Greek times and has been used in medicine since. Physical therapy started to develop into a medical subdivision following the polio epidemic of the early 20th century. Since then, the industry has grown with technology to provide patients with the best care for long term success.

Physical therapy involves the combination of massage, exercise, and medical expertise in one-on-one sessions with a patient and a therapist. Physical therapy can be extremely effective when coupled with an analysis of the patient’s lifestyle factors.

From carpal tunnel syndrome to a serious sports injury, the assistance a physical therapist can provide is irreplaceable. Also, as you age, many conditions tend to worsen without intervention. Physical therapy can reduce this  by giving you exercise that will not only manage pain but also make you stronger.

In addition, a physical therapist will provide you a personalized action plan to help with any pain you are experiencing at home as well as proper movements that will prevent conditions from worsening over time.

It is important that we take this time to raise awareness of the helpful benefits of physical therapy. If you, or someone you know is experiencing chronic pain, physical therapy can be an easy solution that will bring a lifetime of benefits. Aging gracefully is a goal we all share; let’s do so by keeping our body in peak condition!
