Relieving pain and improving mobility with physical therapy
Coeur d'Alene Press | UPDATED 12 years, 6 months AGO
Countless individuals experience pain, lack of mobility, limited range of motion, or joint pain in their back, neck, knees, shoulders, hips, feet and ankles. Many have had total joint replacement surgery to correct chronic pain, while others are injured playing sports or on the job. Regardless of where their discomfort originated, they can all find fast and lasting relief through physical therapy treatment. And so can you!
Physical therapists use drug-free, non-invasive treatments that address the underlying cause of a patient's symptoms and help the body heal itself. Through a variety of techniques and therapies, they can help relieve pain fast - and, in some cases, help patients avoid surgery.
Physical therapists employ a variety of treatments including massage, manual therapy, therapeutic exercises and education. Manual therapy is a hands-on approach that includes joint and soft tissue mobilization, manipulation and massage. An integral part of the therapy process is therapeutic exercise, which improves strength, range of motion, mechanics and flexibility. Therapeutic exercise relieves pain and increases function. Finally, educating patients about proper form, posture, and ergonomics for daily life and work activities is essential. This prevents future injuries, as well as helping patients achieve long-term results.
