Be it yourself or a loved one, almost everyone has had some sort of experience with Physical Therapy (PT) during their life. It’s usually required as the result of an accident, injury, or chronic pain, and the person seeking therapy wants to become stronger or get better. Typical PT objectives include the ability to improve mobility, reduce or manage pain, restore function, and prevent disability or injury.
When PT is prescribed after an injury has been incurred or a surgery was performed, it’s because the body has been compromised to some extent. A compromised body is much more susceptible to environmental influencers, which are conditions that might create physical discomfort, fatigue, or affect balance.
