Why should i go to physical therapy?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Training : A good physical therapist will evaluate physical problems and design a plan of care that addresses the specific problems a person is facing. They will also help you learn exercises appropriately to prevent further damage. A good pt program will also teach the exercises or activities to do at home to prevent problems in the future.

Discuss with MD: Physical therapy is an easy way for your doctor to assure that the proper exercise techniques are being used to promote healing as part of a prescribed program. The therapy usually is designed to complement the other components or treatment. It can really enhance functional independence and promote faster recovery.
