There are a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries that can be improved with physical therapy in Port Isabel. Physical therapy addresses limitations an individual is experiencing from either illness, injury, or age and seeks to restore their ability to perform functional activities in their daily lives. Every patient's physical therapy session is customized to their particular needs and health goals. Physical therapy performed by a licensed physical therapist can have many benefits, including:

Improved Mobility

Physical therapists are specialists in improving mobility. Your physical therapist will formulate your course of care by first discussing your physical therapy goals to give you the best opportunity of achieving the results you desire.

Pain Relief

Physical therapy has the potential to relieve stress on the muscles and thereby provide pain relief. In some cases, physical therapy can reduce the need to use pain-killing medications.

Individualized Exercise Plan

Your Port Isabel physical therapist will likely give you a set of exercises or stretches to perform at home between therapy sessions that aid the process of recovery. The exercises and stretches you are prescribed will always be specific to your individual needs and goals.

Potentially Avoiding Surgery

It is not uncommon for individuals who have experience an injury to consult a physical therapist to see if their particular condition can be improved before resorting to surgery. However, it is important to discuss your specific situation with your primary physician and physical therapist to see if physical therapy could be an alternative solution to surgery.

Maximizing the Benefits of Physical Therapy

If your physician has specifically recommended physical therapy, it is a good idea to heed their advice. After starting physical therapy, it is crucial to follow the directions of your physical therapist to make proper progress.

The working relationship between a therapist and patient can be one of the more underrated benefits of physical therapy. In fact, a recent systematic review that included patients with brain injury, musculoskeletal conditions, cardiac conditions, or multiple pathologies found that the collaboration between patient and physical therapist positively correlate with treatment outcomes. These positive health outcomes include the ability to perform activities of daily living, manage pain, complete specific physical function tasks, depression, assessment of physical health, treatment adherence, and treatment satisfaction.
