Physical Therapy After Injury

Getting injured through sports or something else is never a good experience, but there are ways to make your recovery faster so you can get on the road to recovery. Physical therapy is just one way of doing this. If your physician wants to send you on a physical therapy course of action, there is a good reason for it. Getting injured isn't just about healing; some injuries need additional attention and care in order not to re-injure themselves or worsen once they've healed up enough already.

In surgery cases, especially where rehabilitation will continue treatment by applying exercises within an affected area until feeling better again. We use various techniques designed specifically around pain management through our sports PT programs - stimulating healing with every session. Here are some ways that physical therapy can help. 

Stretching

Stretching to keep the joint flexible and muscles relaxed after an injury or surgery is essential. It helps prevent scar tissue from forming in these situations, which can make moving through your rehabilitation process more difficult if it's not stretched regularly throughout the recovery period.

Exercises to Strengthen Your Body

Strengthening exercises are the key to living a pain-free life. The goal of these strengthening moves is not just physical but improved muscle function that allows for better mobility and overall wellness in your daily routine! Research has shown that post-surgical patients can effectively resume their normal level activities following an operation by performing specifically prescribed stretches or strengthening programs tailored specifically towards them after surgery with guidance from their physician/physical therapist throughout this process.

Core strengthening 

A strong core is like the foundation of your house. PTs have been focusing their attention on these powerful and important core structures. Core strengthening has become a hot topic for physical therapists because it can reduce chronic pain conditions like low backaches or hip problems in addition to acute injuries such as sprains and strains from accidental falls.

These are just some of the many reasons why physical therapy after an injury is essential to your recovery. Next Step Rehabilitation is your premier outpatient orthopedic physical therapy provider.
