The Impact of Physical Therapy

Did you know that physical therapy is a relatively new method of treating injuries and conditions? Compared to medicinal and other treatment methods, this conservative care method took the world by storm during World War I. Since then, the practice of physical therapy has expanded to become much more common or even favored by patients to stretch, strengthen, and recover from or prevent injury. Today, physical therapists, like the ones we have here at BC + PT, are able to treat a multitude of different musculoskeletal conditions, as well as many types of injuries.

How Can Physical Therapy Help?

Physical therapy can be a very versatile treatment method assisting with anything from strains and sprains, to sports injuries, to post-operative or pre-operative treatment. At BC + PT, we help many patients recover from car crash injuries or work-related accidents. Nowadays, your primary care provider can prescribe you for physical therapy for all of the above, and even treating chronic conditions like arthritis, sciatica or piriformis.

What Are The Benefits of Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy has been proven to help maximize your mobility, manage your pain, improve your physical fitness, and in some cases, even prevent expensive surgery. Your physical therapist at BC + PT provides a friendly, knowledgeable, 1:1 presence to work with you directly on your unique condition or injury. Sometimes, especially after an accident or injury, not knowing how to start the healing process is the hardest part. Having a good physical therapist on your side is one way to ensure you are healing properly and know you have someone on your team.
