Who Can Benefit From Physical Therapy?
Many people can reap the benefits of physical therapy, including people dealing with managing chronic conditions, recovering from surgery or illness, or patients healing from injuries. Our physical therapists are committed to creating personalized care plans with every one of our patients to fit their specific needs.
Whether you’re a senior requiring post-hospitalization care or post-traumatic injury physical therapy, or an athlete recovering from a sports injury, we have you covered.
Who May Need Physical Therapy?
Patients who have been hospitalized for a serious injury, major surgery, or a severe illness often require post-acute care and short-term rehabilitation care that includes physical therapy.
Physical therapy is also frequently part of a treatment strategy for certain chronic conditions, other types of injuries, and as a preventative strategy for preventing injury and disability in seniors.
Post-Acute Care Needs
Post-acute care (also referred to as post-hospital care) is short-term skilled nursing and rehabilitation services that are meant to assist patients who are ready to be released from the hospital, but still need more time to recover before they can safely return home.
Physical therapy is usually a necessary part of post-acute care in order for patients to regain strength, maintain mobility, improve balance, and relearn physical movement and skills they may have lost due to illness or injury.
Reasons an individual may need acute care include the following:
- Recovering from a major surgery.
- Recovering from a serious injury.
- Recovering from a serious illness.
Joint Replacement Therapy
After joint replacement surgery for your hips, knees, or another joint, a personalized treatment plan that includes physical therapy will be recommended.
Physical therapy under the care of a licensed physical therapist after joint replacement surgery is crucial to prevent stiffness, regain function, and help you prevent movements that could cause dislocation, tendinitis, or bursitis.
Physical therapy can also be used to reduce pain as you recover.
Post-Traumatic Injury Care
Whether it was a fall, a car accident, or another type of accident, physical therapy is often necessary to regain full mobility after a traumatic injury.
Symptom Management for Chronic Conditions
Physical therapy can help patients navigate the symptoms of certain chronic conditions, such as osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, COPD, etc. Treatment plans that include physical therapy can assist patients with delaying disability, managing pain, and regaining certain physical abilities they may have lost due to their condition.
Chronic Pain
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends physical therapy as a non-opioid therapy for pain relief for multiple types of pain, including chronic pain.
Preventing Mobility Issues
Studies suggest that physical therapy can be used as a preventative strategy for seniors to prevent disability. Patients who practice physical therapy to increase balance, strength, and flexibility are also less likely to experience a fall.
