Posted in September 28th, 2022

Why should you see a Physical Therapist? What a great question!

First of all, physical therapists are movement experts that want to improve your quality of life through hands-on case, education, and prescription movement, NOT prescription medication. We help people, just like you, maintain or even restore as much function as possible.

Second, the evidence is clear that physical therapy is safe, effective, and the best first option for numerous symptoms and conditions you might be facing.

You might be asking yourself, "what are examples of the symptoms or conditions a physical therapist can help with?"

Well, here are just a few examples of symptoms:

• knee pain
• low back pain
• neck pain
• chronic pain
• headaches

And here are a few examples of conditions:

• herniated disk
• osteoarthritis
• rotator cuff tear
• shoulder impingement

Third, you are the main focus of your return to the life you want. You have the say in your treatment plan so that it is specific to your goals, and lifestyle. Physical therapists will create a plan specific to your needs and challenges. We work together with you to use strategies and assist you in achieving your goals. We help people of all ages and abilities.

If you are still unsure if you should see a physical therapist, then I recommend you call and speak with one today!
