What does a physical therapy treatment plan look like?
Everyone has different needs based on the conditions of their bodies. There is no cookie-cutter approach to health and wellness, as one treatment plan may not work the same for one person as it would for another.
Our physical therapist will work closely with you to evaluate your mobility, balance, range of motion, and severity of pain. Your physical goals will also be taken into account when creating your treatment plan, as well as any health risks that may be holding you back.
At your initial evaluation, you may be asked to perform basic movements, such as sitting down, standing up, walking, lifting, stretching, and other motions. Typically, you will have a posture assessment and strength assessment as well.
Once your physical therapist has a clear picture of what you need, he or she will begin constructing a treatment plan to help relieve your pain and achieve your goals.
How can I benefit?
Physical therapists are movement specialists, educated in analyzing mobility issues with walking, running, jumping, bending, stretching, and almost every other form of physical activity.
Perhaps you are still suffering from the lingering pain of an injury. Perhaps you are recovering from surgery and trying to get your range of motion back. Perhaps your joints simply aren’t what they used to be, and you are looking for relief.
Whatever the case may be, physical therapists are dedicated to relieving your pain and getting you back to your peak level of physical health.
Prairie Rehab’s physical therapists can pinpoint problem areas and create a customized treatment plan aimed at improving those areas.
Through in-office sessions and at-home exercises, patients strengthen their muscles and joints, improve their balance, build endurance, and experience pain relief, all without the unwanted harmful risks of drugs or surgery.
The purpose of physical therapy remains the same, no matter what you are seeking services for.
So, what should I know about physical therapy?
Physical therapy is aimed at pain relief and strengthening, and our South Dakota and Minnesota physical therapy team will make sure that your treatment plan is the correct plan for you!
PT generally consists of three important phases: pain relief, strengthening, and functional integration. Some people are apprehensive toward physical therapy because they believe it will hurt them; however, the opposite is usually true.
An active lifestyle is very dependent upon movement and not being in pain. Our physical therapy team will design your treatment plan around specific movements designed to increase your strength, flexibility, balance, and overall mobility. He or she will assist you with many of these exercises, but will also provide some simple ones that can be done at home.
The end result of physical therapy is living the life you want, free from painful limitations. That can only happen when you apply the concepts you learn from your treatments to the outside world.
Our physical therapists and physical therapist assistants are as dedicated as you are, and will encourage you to achieve all the goals you set forth in the beginning.
How can I get started?
The pain-free active lifestyle you want is not always easy to obtain, especially for those suffering from chronic pain.
The very thought of going out and exercising with your aches and pains may leave you feeling uncomfortable. However, there is, fortunately, a simpler solution to gaining the active lifestyle you desire.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle takes work, but once you get into the groove of it, it becomes much easier. For example, eating nutritious foods and hydrating appropriately are some of the easiest ways to improve your health (although we know those sweets are hard to kick.)
Physical activity may be the hardest aspect to get in the habit of doing, especially if you are being held back by chronic pain. Some people try to mask their symptoms with anti-inflammatory or pain-relieving medications, while others, unfortunately, give up on the idea of being active altogether.
Luckily, there is an alternative option: physical therapy. With the help of a physical therapy team in Worthington Avera, Worthington Oxford, Lakefield, Jackson, Fulda, Tea, Hartford, Harrisburg, Brandon, Sioux Falls, East Sioux Falls, West Sioux Falls or Central Sioux Falls, it is possible to reclaim your pain-free, healthy lifestyle, and get back to doing the activities you love.
