Could you benefit from physical therapy?

Many of us may not know all of the ways that physical therapy can help us or what it can help with. If you find that you cannot do certain things because of pain, then it might be time to talk to your doctor or call a physical therapist to see if physical therapy can help you.

There are certain signs that you may benefit from physical therapy. These signs can include:

• Inability to stand or sit comfortably for long periods of time

• Difficulty getting in and out of bed

• Trouble sleeping

• Inability to walk for at last 20 minutes

• Trouble with balance or unsteadiness

• Unable to enjoy leisure activities

• Unable to interact with children or grandchildren

• Limited ability to exercise

• Unable to work

• Difficulty going up and down steps or curbs

If you find yourself in pain or discomfort from the most basic daily activity, alleviating this could be found in physical therapy treatment. Physical therapy doesn't involve medication, invasive procedures and it doesn't mask the pain or discomfort. Physical therapy is intended to resolve the issue. To get you back to normal and allow you to enjoy the things you love.
