What is Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy is a course of treatment meant to help you recover from an injury, manage health condition symptoms, or gain movement confidence as you age. Physical therapy involves stretches, exercises, and movements to increase strength, flexibility, and mobility. Your OSMC physical therapist in Northern Indiana is trained to evaluate your movement, flexibility, and motion to create a care plan to help you reach your movement goals.

Physical therapy treatment varies based on your diagnosis and goals. It may include:

• Balance training
• Heat and cold therapy
• Massage
• Muscle strengthening
• Joint Mobilization
• Exercises to improve strength, flexibility, range of motion and mobility

Why Do I Need Physical Therapy?

From injury rehabilitation to balance issues, someone may need physical therapy for many reasons. Your OSMC physical therapist in Michiana will create a personalized treatment plan to address your needs. We offer specialized care in the following areas:

• Sports medicine
• Chronic pain
• Job injury rehabilitation
• ASTYM therapy to break up scar tissue and damaged soft tissue

Is Physical Therapy Effective?

Physical therapy is an essential part of many traumatic injury recovery protocols. It can help relieve pain, strengthen muscles, and help you get moving with confidence. Physical therapy can also enhance balance and coordination and alleviate the fear of falling, reducing the risk of further injury.

How Long Will I Need Physical Therapy?

The length of a physical therapy treatment plan depends on why you are in physical therapy and how well you follow your therapist's plan. In many cases, your physical therapist will give you exercises to practice outside of your sessions. Completing these recommended exercises will get you on the road to recovery as fast as possible. Most physical rehabilitation treatment plans can be completed in 4 to 6 weeks.

The nature of your injury and the effort you put into your sessions will determine how long it takes to see improvements after starting physical therapy. Different tissues heal at different rates. Contact us for more information on how long it may take to see improvement in your condition.
