Physical Therapy & Recovery
BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL THERAPY
PAIN MANAGEMENT
Properly managing pain is crucial for maintaining optimal muscle and joint function. Therapeutic exercises and therapy sessions can be highly beneficial in achieving this goal. These approaches not only alleviate pain but also prevent its recurrence in the future.
AVOIDING SURGERY
Surgery may sometimes not be required if physical therapy effectively relieves pain or rehabilitates an injury. However, if surgery is necessary, participating in physical therapy beforehand can often speed up the recovery process.
IMPROVED MOBILITY AND MOVEMENT
Incorporating stretching and strengthening exercises into your daily routine can significantly enhance your ability to move and perform physical activities, regardless of age. These exercises improve your flexibility, balance, and endurance and help you regain mobility and independence. By engaging in regular training, you can enhance your overall quality of life and maintain a healthy body for years.
INJURY RECOVERY AND PREVENTION
When participating in sports or other physical activities, it's essential to know that certain actions can heighten the risk of specific injuries. At Altius, our physical therapists have extensive knowledge of these potential hazards. They can collaborate with you to create tailored treatment or preventive exercises to ensure your safety and well-being. With their proficiency, you can partake in your preferred activities with confidence and without any anxiety.
RETURN TO SPORTS
It's common for athletes to get injured. But before they can return to their sport, there are many factors to consider. Experts recommend viewing the process of returning to sport as a continuum that includes recovery and rehabilitation. At Altius, our physical therapy programs are tailored to meet the unique needs of athletes. Our professionals work with athletes at every level of rehab to reduce the risk of re-injury and help them come back even stronger.
The return to sport process can be different for each athlete. It depends on the sport and the level of participation they aim to achieve. Here are the three stages of returning to sport:
- Return to Participation: The athlete participates in rehabilitation or sport at a lower level than their desired goal. This is because they are not yet medically, physically, or psychologically "ready" to fully participate.
- Return to Sport: The athlete has returned to their sport, but they have not yet reached their target level of performance.
- Return to Performance: The athlete has returned to their sport and is performing just as well as, or even better than, they were before the injury.
FALL PREVENTION
If you desire to improve your balance, seeking guidance from a physical therapist is wise. Your Altius experts possess vast knowledge in developing exercise regimes specifically tailored to challenge your balance safely, leading to substantial improvements. Their expertise allows you to regain confidence in your physical capabilities and attain optimal balance.
MANAGE AGE-RELATED MEDICAL ISSUES
As individuals age, it is not uncommon to experience various health concerns that can impact their daily life. Conditions such as arthritis or osteoporosis can hinder mobility and cause discomfort. Fortunately, Altius physical therapy can be crucial in managing and reducing the symptoms associated with these conditions. By working with our trained specialists, individuals can improve their range of motion, increase strength, and alleviate pain. Physical therapy is a safe and effective approach to maintaining and enhancing overall physical health, especially for those with age-related health concerns.
MANAGE HEART AND LUNG DISEASE
After experiencing a heart attack or undergoing a medical procedure related to the heart, you may need to participate in cardiac rehabilitation. Additionally, physical therapy can assist if heart disease affects your daily life. Similarly, if you have pulmonary issues, physical therapy can help improve your quality of life through exercises to strengthen and condition your breathing.
