Physical Therapy Services: Five Benefits To Boost Well-Being
Injuries occur for a variety of different reasons, from traumatic events such as a car wreck to sports-related issues, causing individuals pain, discomfort, and often limiting mobility. While there are certain medical procedures and medicines to assist with these problematic limitations, the presence of a structured and personalized physical therapy program also helps to speed up and aid in recovery. These measures offer many incentives helping to boost a person’s well-being while also providing multiple health benefits along the way.
Physical therapy is something many people are familiar with but few understand just how important its benefits are to individuals. However, as the medical market continues to expand, there are millions of people utilizing these services each day and odds are you know one of them in the event you haven’t personally put it to use. While there are countless ways physical therapy assists individuals, there are five key components associated with outcomes from following a professionally prescribed plan.
Recovery Options
Following some type of injury, regardless of its origin, physical therapy boosts both the recovery time and process. In addition, if certain movements are limited or a person has lost function from one of their limbs, the use of a professional physical therapy plan will assist in helping them to recover completely or at least improve the current function to some degree.
Balance Assistance
Another key focal area for physical therapy is to improve balance and coordination among clients. Depending on age and certain other factors, the ability to enhance this component is key and also assists in helping individuals throughout their daily life experiences.
Pain Reduction
Certain aches and pains may also be limited or healed through the use of a physical therapy action plan. This not only aids in a reduction of medication (pain pills) but it also serves as a natural way to attack any lingering issues.
Preventative Practice
Most people associate physical therapy with a resulting action from some prior experience. For example, you twist an ankle playing basketball and physical therapy is needed to help get back out on the court but there are also preventative measures to this practice. Certain therapeutic approaches could help individuals avoid surgery altogether by remedying a problem area before having to go under the knife - always a positive result.
Universal Application
Physical therapy is also a universal practice with a different plan of action specific to each individual. These unique procedures are always shaped to address how each person responds to the treatment while focusing on a personalized approach with the goals of different individuals in mind.
If you or someone you know suffers from chronic pain, needs assistance with mobility issues, or is seeking services for another 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.

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?
