Non-Invasive and Non-Pharmaceutical Strategies for Reestablishing Maximum Health

When you face any type of physical challenge, whether you’ve been injured in an accident or have a progressive neuromuscular condition, physical rehabilitation or therapy can help maximize your quality of life. Physical rehabilitation/therapy uses exercises and stretches to help improve or manage the physical capabilities of patients who have significant physical ailments or limitations. Whether you have suffered a high ankle sprain, a torn rotator cuff or meniscus, or you’re seeking to minimize the impact of the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, physical rehabilitation or therapy is a completely catered experience, one that can be tailored to your situation.

First things first—there’s really no injury or trauma that is too minor or insignificant to benefit from physical therapy. Furthermore, there’s almost always a start and an end to physical therapy—you won’t need treatment for the rest of your life. Your physical therapist will work closely with you to monitor your progress and provide a completely unique experience that gives you the safest, quickest and most complete recovery from your symptoms.

Physical Therapy– Ensuring a Safe and Complete Recovery

Our physical therapists have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of human anatomy, of musculoskeletal health, and of biomechanics, allowing them to quickly and accurately identify, monitor and track physical injuries of virtually any kind, helping you avoid setbacks. We’ll provide you with stretches and workouts that assist in the improvement of your muscle and tendon strength, as well as your resilience.

Whether we are maximizing the flexibility of your shoulder after a dislocation or helping you learn how to walk with a prosthetic after an amputation, we will patiently monitor your progress and encourage you to take every measure to maintain steady progress towards better health.

Our physical therapists carefully consider every detail when treating you, so that we can maximize your ability to function in your day-to-day life. We’ll structure a regimen to improve any physical function, from flexibility and range of motion to fine motor skills. You can expect:

  • Improved strength
  • Increased mobility/flexibility
  • Fine motor function improvements
  • Enhanced balance
  • Heightened coordination
  • Overall avoidance of setbacks

The Mental Impact of Physical Rehabilitation and Therapy

Among the benefits of physical therapy most often overlooked is the mental health, stability and improvement it provides for patients recovering from injuries. No one who has gone through physical therapy, though, would undervalue the improvements to their mental well-being as a result of rehabilitation. Having a healthy mental state ensures that you are taking the right steps in your recovery to avoid setbacks and improve each day.

The Ways that Physical Therapists Improve Mental Health

Physical therapy improves your mental health in two very concrete ways:

  • The tangible evidence of physical improvement that comes from physical therapy instills confidence that you can return to maximum health. When you are struggling with the full impact of an injury, that knowledge can provide a much-needed mental boost.
  • Physical therapy also offers encouragement and motivation. Most physical therapists have handled thousands of injury cases, which gives them an understanding of how an injury should progress. When patients get discouraged about their recovery, physical therapists can provide an informed perspective that reassures patients that they are on track to make a speedy and complete recovery.

What to Expect from Physical Rehabilitation at Accident Injury Doctors Pain & Injury

At Accident Injury Doctors, we are committed to taking the necessary steps to promote your return to full health. Our physical therapists will collaborate with your physician or chiropractor to get a clear understanding of your diagnosis. They will then meet with you to discuss your symptoms and re-examine your physical state. All of this information will be considered when we put together a customized treatment plan to improve your condition.

Your physical therapy can take place entirely at our rehab facility, under the watchful eye of our physical therapy team. We can also come to your home, if necessary, or combine home and office visits. In many instances, it will depend on your rehabilitation needs.

Our therapists use a combination of exercise tools, devices and equipment to provide safe and supportive stretches and exercises to facilitate your physical recovery. We may also recommend products that you can purchase to aid in your at-home workouts.

All of our physical therapists consider patient recovery a day-by-day process. This ensures that you aren’t pushed beyond your physical capacity. Your physical therapist may also adjust the treatment plan as needed.
