Q: Why should someone see a physical therapist?
A: Most often, patients arereferred to one of our clinics by their orthopedic surgeon or primary care physician to assist with recovery from an injury or procedure. But, physical therapy is beneficial toanyone seeking pain relief and improved function. The physical therapy approach is to evaluate the neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems and address movement limitations or malalignments that are affecting mobility and causing pain. When patients come to physical therapy first, they can often avoid unnecessary surgery andmedication. Through intentional exercises and hands-on treatment, patients can get back to theirhobbies, everyday tasks and more.
