If you’re wondering what makes therapy so important, here are 10 ways it can benefit you.
Reduce or Eliminate Pain
Avoid Surgery
If therapy helps you eliminate pain or heal from an injury, surgery may not be needed. By avoiding surgery, health care costs are reduced.
Improve Mobility
If you’re having trouble standing, walking or moving—no matter your age—therapy can help. Stretching and strengthening exercises help restore your ability to move. By customizing an individual care plan, whatever activity that is important to an individual’s life can be practiced and adapted to ensure maximal performance and safety.
Recover From or Prevent a Sports Injury
Dr. Wetherington understands how different sports can increase your risk for specific types of injuries (such as stress fractures for distance runners). We can design appropriate recovery or prevention exercise programs for you to ensure a safe return to your sport.
Improve Your Balance and Prevent Falls
When you begin therapy, you will get screened for fall risk. If you’re at high risk for falls, therapists will provide exercises that safely and carefully challenge your balance as a way to mimic real-life situations. Therapists also help you with exercises to improve coordination and assistive devices to help with safer walking. When the balance problem is caused by a problem in one’s vestibular system, therapists can perform specific maneuvers that can quickly restore proper vestibular functioning, and reduce and eliminate symptoms of dizziness or vertigo.
