PT sports clinic Alexandria VirginiaPhysical therapy is a vital tool for injury recovery and prevention. Unfortunately, many providers are ruled by insurance companies rather than patient outcomes. You might be sent to a clinic where one paraprofessional sees three or four clients with the same ailment at once and prescribes the same at-home exercises to everyone.

This lowest common denominator of PT has sadly become the norm because insurers will cover only the therapy they decide is “good enough".

Who Could Benefit From Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy can help just about anyone ease pain and gain greater control over their bodies. It is particularly beneficial if a person's movement is affected by the following:

Aging

Older adults who have physical therapy sessions are more likely to have the strength and balance it takes to avoid common injuries, such as falls or broken bones.

Acute injuries

 Rolled ankles, broken bones, and surgery recovery can all cause short-term disability that could benefit from physical therapy. Therapy is typically recommended after the injury has healed, and ligaments and muscles can be stretched without risking re-injury.

Chronic injuries

Athletes at all levels of play are at risk of overuse injuries. Sports physical therapy can help treat chronic pain from overuse injuries and develop techniques to prevent re-injury.

Disease

Patients with musculoskeletal disorders, such as arthritis or fibromyalgia, may benefit from physical therapy to improve motor skills and restore coordination. It can also help ease pain in people with chronic illnesses, helping them manage their symptoms and improving their quality of life.
