October is National Physical Therapy Month

October is National Physical Therapy Month which means it’s the perfect time to think about feeling your best. At Park Physical Therapy, every month is Physical Therapy Month! Park PT provides hands-on treatments for your orthotic, spinal, or various neurological needs.  

There are many benefits to physical therapy including avoiding painful surgeries and long recovery time. Physical therapy is proven to relieve pain and tension and allows patients to pick a recovery plan that is better suited to their specific injury.

Physical therapists will use exercises and stretches that will improve mobility. The strengthening of your motion will offer you a better and pain-free lifestyle. This improved strength and mobility will reduce your risk for falls, fractures, arthritis, and offer you a more independent lifestyle.

Receiving physical therapy will also help you to avoid the risk of surgery. For some conditions, like lower back pain or knee pain, physical therapy can be even more effective. This is because there is no recovery time and the cost is exceedingly less. While surgery may be the best course of action for some to seek the advice of your doctors.

Patients also can contribute to their recovery plan. Your physical therapists will work with you to create a treatment plan that best meets your individual goal, needs, and wants. Participating in your own recovery, helps patients to empower themselves at take control of their own treatment.

This month, make an appointment with a Park Physical Therapy if you are experiencing any discomfort and want care that is tailored to your personal needs. At Park PT we offer rehabilitation programs, some of the programs we specialize in are neck and back injuries, balance training, and post surgery care.
