5 Reasons Why Having a Physical Therapist in Your Network is Good for Your Health

January 18, 2023

While you may think of having a physical therapist for severe pain or after an accident or injury, the scope of physical therapy isn’t limited to this; a physical therapist can also treat your nagging back pain and pesky headaches and even improve your overall health.

A physical therapist (PT) is a medical professional who treats your musculoskeletal system disorders and improves your quality of life through prescribed exercises, hands-on care, and patient education.

Let’s talk about 5 reasons why you should have a physical therapist and where you can find one in Florida, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

Reason #1 Physical Therapist Can Help Reduce or Eliminate Pain

Nagging pain, whether back pain, neck, or joint pain, can heavily impact your quality of life. Having a physical therapist in your network means you no longer have to bear the pain.

A physical therapist can do a complimentary screening to determine if you need physical therapy. They use therapeutic exercises and techniques to restore muscle and joint function and help alleviate pain. They may also use manual exercises, ultrasound, and electric stimulation to manage pain and teach you some techniques to help prevent the pain from returning.

Reason #2 Physical Therapist Can Improve Your Mobility

Having a physical therapist in your network is like having your movement advocate. As your movement advocate, your physical therapist can teach you about the cause and effect in the human body. For example, too much typing and texting can result in neck pain and carpal tunnel syndrome.

A physical therapist can help you adjust how you move in your everyday activities and improve your form during exercise.

Reason #3 Physical Therapist Can Help Prevent Injury

Some people, especially those who play sports or have poor posture, are at higher risk for falls and injuries. If you’re one of those, it’s a good idea to have a physical therapist to receive preventive care.

Your PT will learn about your activities and teach you what you can do to prevent injuries while maintaining the same activity level.

Reason #4 Physical Therapist Can Help Avoid Surgery

If you have a musculoskeletal system problem that requires surgery but don’t want to undergo the knife, you can get help from a physical therapist. Your physical therapist can manage your pain and improve your mobility and, therefore, can delay your surgery for a significant amount of time.

In some cases, physical therapists may be able to decrease your pain and improve your function enough to avoid surgery altogether.

Reason #5 Physical Therapist Can Help Control a Disease or Condition

A physical therapist’s services go beyond treating musculoskeletal pain and mobility problems. A physical therapist can help you battle chronic headaches and migraines. They also provide effective services to provide you relief from a concussion or head injury and neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and peripheral neuropathy.
