Benefits of Physical Therapy 

The New Year is a natural starting point for setting goals and deciding how you want to improve your life. To enjoy your life to its fullest, your body needs to be in working order. Many believe that physical therapy is only helpful for rehabilitating injuries, but this form of care can provide several different benefits. If you suffer from limited mobility from chronic pain, have tense muscles, or lack energy, physical therapy can help. Here are some of the benefits of physical therapy at Massapequa Pain Management & Rehabilitation:

• Reduced Pain – Therapeutic stretching and strengthening exercises can help reduce or eliminate pain and restore proper muscle and joint function. 
• Injury Recovery – Physical therapists are injury experts. Our team can design a recuperation program to help you return to full function after an injury. 
• Avoid Surgery – If physical therapy helps reduce or eliminate your pain, you may be able to avoid surgery. If surgery is necessary, pre-operative treatment can help you go into your procedure stronger and in better shape, helping you recover faster. 
• Manage Health – Whether you’re living with diabetes, a vascular condition, or looking to maintain a healthy weight, physical therapy can help you manage your health and achieve your wellness goals.
