PHYSICAL THERAPY - PHYSICAL THERAPIST

Physical therapy takes many forms. Most often physical therapy is done as part of recovering from an accident or injury. It is not normally done as a preventative measure, as is the case with some forms of massage therapy. Physical therapy is done to regain use of the body—such as regaining the use of the legs after a bad accident.

The need for physical therapy depends on the nature of the injury. Physical therapy has been used in cases of accident, disease, or age. The physical therapist will work closely with the attending physician to determine the best course of recovery. In some cases, physical therapy can take a number of years until the patient is fully recovered.

Within this time period, a number of physical therapy techniques may be used: varieties of massage therapy techniques, such as deep tissue massage or relaxation treatment, as well as chiropractic treatment. It can often be a very slow process, especially in the case of extreme injury. The physical therapist will ensure that progress is always being made, even if it is a little at a time.

Physical therapy is not always needed for cases of extreme injury. Therapy for other more minor ailments—such as a knee or elbow injury—will also need a form of physical therapy. The process is very much the same as a more dramatic injury—albeit for a much shorter period of time. The physical therapist and the patient will determine the best course of action—whether it’s a generalized massage or localized cold laser therapy.

In some cases, physical therapy could only take a couple of weeks to complete.
