FAQs
What types of injuries do you treat with physical therapy?
We treat a wide range of injuries, including those resulting from sports accidents, workplace incidents, car accidents, falls, and more. Common injuries we address include strains, sprains, fractures, tendonitis, and post-surgical rehabilitation.
How soon after an injury should I start physical therapy?
It's best to start physical therapy as soon as possible after an injury. Early intervention can help minimize pain, reduce inflammation, and prevent secondary complications. However, even if some time has passed since the injury occurred, physical therapy can still be beneficial in promoting healing and restoring function.
What can I expect during a physical therapy session?
Each session is tailored to your specific needs and may include a combination of exercises, manual therapy, modalities (such as heat or ice), and education on proper body mechanics. Your therapist will work closely with you to set goals and track your progress throughout your treatment.
How long will it take to recover from my injury with physical therapy?
The duration of recovery varies depending on the type and severity of the injury, as well as individual factors like overall health and adherence to the treatment plan. Your therapist will provide you with a personalized timeline for recovery and adjust your treatment as needed to optimize outcomes.
Will physical therapy be painful?
Physical therapy should not be excessively painful, but it may involve some discomfort, especially initially as you work to regain strength and mobility. Your therapist will strive to keep you as comfortable as possible during sessions while still challenging you to make progress.
