Physical therapy is able to help you recover after a sports injury or an operation. Santa Rose Beach Physical Therapy Services, LLC provides in-home physical therapy and personalized treatments. Here is more information about the role of a physical therapist in rehabilitation:
Habit Correction Guidance
A physical therapist works with you to help you with neurorehabilitation, general debility, or conditions that impact natural movement and flexibility. During the first visit, a therapist from Santa Rose Beach Physical Therapy Services, LLC will perform an evaluation and schedule any necessary follow-up visits. During home visits, a therapist can observe everyday movements and habits, allowing them to identify which habits contribute to physical issues. The therapist will discuss these habits with you and offer guidance on how to correct them to promote healing.
Mobility Restoration Assistance
One goal of physical therapy is to assist in restoring mobility. This is meant to improve movement quality and enhance strength after an injury or to address the effects of aging. This assistance can include guided exercises and hands-on techniques. A therapist can manually manipulate specific muscles, joints, and tissues. Our therapists will adjust the number of prescribed sessions based on your needs.
If traditional exercise methods are too painful, you can choose to participate in aquatherapy and aqua-stretch programs. They offer less resistance and less joint pain. This offers a comfortable environment, making it easier to exercise. It also helps enhance flexibility. One of our therapists can meet you at a preferred location, such as a pool or beach.
Pain Management Treatments
Physical therapists can provide pain-management treatments during sessions to improve quality of life, including myofascial release techniques and stretching therapy. To promote health, they can also perform add-on treatments to reduce inflammation. These treatments include:
- Dry needling: This process involves inserting thin needles into tissues to target myofascial points. Dry needling helps with pain relief by decreasing pain receptors in specific areas of the body and increasing natural opioid production.
- Cupping therapy: This form of treatment utilizes suction cups to form negative pressure. This helps increase blood flow and reduce muscular pressure; it also helps with musculoskeletal pain.
- Laser therapy: Laser therapy uses red and near-infrared light and three specific wavelengths to provide pain reduction. Treatments are under five minutes and address sports injuries and chronic pain.
A therapist can discuss options with you and help you choose appropriate treatments for your needs that help promote your treatment after an injury or procedure. Santa Rose Beach Physical Therapy Services, LLC also offers kit taping. This elastic kinesiology tape helps with postural correction and injury recovery by providing support and reducing pain.
