No matter if you are training for a competitive walk or run, looking to play your favorite sport for years to come or simply want to up your game at the gym, Specialty Physical Therapy can help.
Read on to learn more on how you can take steps to remain active at any age.
Making movement count
Active individuals – both athletes and weekend warriors – can be subject to injuries, as stress on joints and muscles can occur as well as body imbalances.
However, this does not mean moving less is the solution. In fact, it is the opposite.
And preventative physical therapy at Specialty Physical Therapy can help you stay strong.
Everyone moves differently.
Our therapists can help you understand how your body moves – from how you swing, squat, walk, run and more.
Whether you play tennis or pickleball, basketball or hockey, lift weights or are an avid walker, a movement and mobility screening is often the first step in the right direction.
Next, our therapists can create a customized preventative rehab plan for you and your lifestyle and activity level.
This may include manual therapy or a combination of this and other therapies like laser, massage, dry needling, cupping and much more.
The plan can also include fall prevention and balance exercises, pain management for any lingering aches and pains, strength training and stretching, functional training and how to stay safe when doing specific activities.
Not to mention a full independent life that lasts long into senior years can be helped along by physical therapy to feel and be your healthiest with a good amount of energy and endurance for daily life.
