I decided to pursue the field of physical therapy after shadowing a physical therapist for a class project my first year of college.

Winter is coming - make sure your body is ready!
If you’re one of those stiff, sore individuals who find yourself getting stiffer and stiffer towards winter, as well as the standard adjustments for weather and chill, physical therapy can relieve the pains of stiff muscles and joints, to keep you out of bed and out of pain.
Pain can be minimized with the help of some treatments like exercising often, drinking plenty of water, wearing thermal clothes and attending physical therapy. Such a move keeps your body warm and does not tighten up your muscles.
Non-specific problems like swollen joints and cramps can worsen in winter because cold cuts off blood supply to muscle and nerve systems in the joints. This is an easy exercise for physical therapists to recommend individualised stretching and muscle heating or massages for such pains, as movement – stretching the limbs and pressing tissues – can relieve the tension.
Stretching should be part of any behaviour change programme aimed at alleviating and avoiding some of the soreness that we suffer in winter. So, for instance, stretch hamstring or shoulder, which will make you flexible and not be stiff when it’s cold outside. You can learn from your physical therapist which stretches to do, and how often.
The more personalized it is, based on your goals and situation, the more successful your program will be. Your physical therapist will create your programme specifically for you, based on your unique body, including the areas where you’re at most risk of aches and pains in the colder, dryer months of winter. Let North Platte Physical Therapy help you take care of your body this winter!
There’s also physical therapy for aching muscles during the winter months, and tailored exercises designed to increase flexibility, strength and blood flow, and prevent injury by improving joint stability.
An individualised workout plan of strength, balance and cardiovascular conditioning takes the place of an injury to prevent muscle damage in its tracks. Every other day, at the end of a dark winter, there’s an appointment for physical-therapy, a sign of spring.
After it snows, just imagine having to live with this pain until spring or maybe until next winter. Suppose you had a plan that would make you less sore and have more of a life (being able to hike, swim, play with the kids, etc) during the cold months. That plan you’d embrace, right?

Physical Therapy Services: Modalities Beyond Massage
Depending on pain symptoms or injury type, there are often multiple treatment patterns which can be implemented to address the issue. Physical therapy allows for an abundance of measures to attack each problem area specifically with individualized applications, making it one of the most efficient and effective ways to rehabilitate the human body. Being able to address an injury through multiple treatment patterns also often allows patients to enjoy a quicker recovery and sustainability as they return to everyday activities.
More than one in five Americans experiences chronic pain, making treatment for these issues a priority. While most individuals are familiar with massage, its usage and multiple benefits, there are also a variety of other options pain sufferers can implement to garner some relief. Seeking the help of a physical therapist is essential as they can develop a plan specifically to address the needs of each individual patient, helping those in need to regain control of their lives.
Hypervolt Percussion Therapy
The use of a Hypervolt device typically relates to muscle injuries and allows physical therapists to target a particular area and vibrate the muscles. This not only increases blood flow to the injured area, but it also allows for the muscles to expand naturally, helping alleviate pain or any other discomfort.
Infrared Light Therapy
These devices utilize light to effectively treat areas with bad circulation, commonly occurring muscle spasms, or unusual inflammation. For those suffering discomfort who may be prone to pain through percussion therapy, the utilization of infrared light is certainly a useful alternative.
Kinesiotaping
It seems athletes have always used tape to help with support, prevent injuries, or assist when there is a sprain or strain potentially present. These taping methods have allowed for many athletes to continue playing and kinesiotaping is an evolution of this practice. This specialized adhesive not only offers support and protection for athletes, but it can also reduce swelling after repetitive use of a particular muscle or joint.
Electrical Nerve Stimulation
A tens unit is also useful for physical therapists as they utilize low voltage currents to aid in treating a variety of different ailments. Typically used for pain relief, the implementation of a tens unit allows the area of discomfort to be targeted for specific relief. Most commonly applied to back or knee pain, the tens unit is another useful tool for those who may be suffering from chronic or even short-term pain.

Physical Therapy Services: Most Common Treatment Areas for Pain
Physical therapy services can be beneficial for a variety of different individuals and reasons. While many people associate physical therapy with athletes and those who have undergone surgery due to illness or injury, there are actually many benefits for individuals from all walks of life at any age. The versatility and variety of services, combined with unique applications specifically designed for each patient allow for physical therapy to treat a huge range of conditions.
In a recent poll of 1,000 Americans, over half revealed having undergone some form of physical therapy treatment. These areas range from injury recovery to work related issues, but there are certain portions of the body which are more prevalent than most to receive care. For those seeking treatment due to mobility pain or other issues, these joints and other areas of the body are most likely the cause.
Knee Pain
One of the most common areas of pain which requires physical therapy is often associated with the knee. A key joint for mobility purposes, when pain or discomfort is prevalent it can be extremely detrimental to the suffering individual. Whether from injury, over-use, or any other factor, getting proper treatment which aids in a full recovery is essential.
Neck Pain
While knee pain is often the result of a mobility issue, people can encounter neck pain while not moving at all - sometimes even while sleeping. Have you ever woken with a sharp pain across your neck, shoulders, and/or upper back? This could be the result of a nerve issue which also may be treated with a proper physical therapy regimen.
Hip Pain
As individuals age, the prevalence of hip pain seems to rise. As a result, this area of the body has also become one of the most commonly associated treatment targets for physical therapy. Another mobility concern, hips not only provide transportational components, but they are also a foundational base of support for the human body.
Back Pain
Injured workers account for numerous individuals who routinely seek physical therapy treatment services and the most common is related to back issues. Lifting, bending, kneeling, and other movements commonly needed in a variety of different jobs can lead to back pain or discomfort. A proper physical therapy plan will not only target and alleviate the existing condition, but also provide support for a proper return to work plan in order to avoid any future injuries.
Shoulder Pain
Finally, the shoulder is another ball and socket joint (similar to the hip) which often requires treatment. This can also be due to an accident or injury, but many patients require shoulder treatment simply based on overuse. As the body ages, changes begin to occur causing more areas of concern and these complex joints are highlighted for potential issues as time passes.
If you or someone you know suffers from pain in these areas, needs extra assistance with mobility, or is seeking services for a preventative reason, then consider reaching out to the physical therapy experts at North Platte Physical Therapy, Monument Physical Therapy, Big Country Rehabilitation, and Bear Lodge Rehabilitation today. Offering 18 different locations across Wyoming and Nebraska, our professional staff are ready and willing to help administer and create a personalized plan of action specific to your needs.
