Treatment for an injury or illness often requires a comprehensive approach to ensure a safe and effective recovery. Physical therapy is one of the most effective ways to restore function and relieve pain. Since October is National Physical Therapy Month, our team at H&D Physical Therapy would like to discuss some of the benefits of going to physical therapy! 

Benefits of Going to Physical Therapy 

Physical therapy is a powerful form of rehabilitation that can promote, maintain, or restore your physical health and function. Whether you’re dealing with a sports injury or trying to stay active while combating arthritis pain, going to physical therapy can help you achieve better health. Refining your movement and preventing injuries can help you perform better in all aspects of your life, and physical therapy can benefit severe conditions that require surgery. Here are some of the valuable benefits you can experience from going to physical therapy:

  • Restored Function – If you’re injured or in pain, you likely struggle to perform the activities you once did with ease. Our therapists will develop a comprehensive exercise plan and demonstrate proper body mechanics to help you get back to the things you need to function in life. 
  • Reduced Pain – Physical therapists can help reduce pain from your ailment by designing and implementing a personalized exercise program. Exercise is a natural way to reduce or eliminate pain. We may also employ other therapies like massage and manual techniques to help reduce pain while maintaining musculoskeletal function. 
  • Improved Range of Motion – An injury or disability can hinder your ability to move and remain flexible. Our physical therapists will provide range of motion and stretching exercises to help you move freely.
