What Can Physical Therapy Do for You?
-
A physical therapist can help you improve your quality of life by moving freely again without pain and discomfort and feeling renewed and ready to move on.
They can even help you prevent an injury altogether.
- Because physical therapists receive specialized training in a variety of sciences -- physics, human anatomy, kinesiology (human movement), to name a few -- they understand how the body works and how to get you moving again.
Avoid Surgery:
Pursuing an exercise program designed by a physical therapist can be one of the best protections from injury and surgery. A physical therapist can help you avoid or delay painful, invasive and expensive surgery through a combination of "hands-on" treatment and individualized exercise programs.
Eliminating Pain Without Medication:
No matter what part of your body hurts, a physical therapist can help you alleviate or manage pain without costly medication or other invasive methods. Physical therapists are a great alternative to medication and surgery for musculoskeletal pain. Research shows individuals who receive active physical therapy experience greater improvement in function and decreased pain intensity.

I have gone to many physical therapists in my life and Melissa at the Center for Sports Medicine is by far the best one ever! She actually listens to you and does her magic accordingly. Her facility provides a quiet atmosphere and so much individual attention. Melissa and her staff are all people you want to have in your life as friends. I am almost done (I recovered from total hip replacement so quickly with her help) and will definitely miss going there.
