Moving your body may seem natural, but many factors can disrupt or inhibit movement, causing pain or frustration during your day. Outpatient physical therapy helps overcome, correct, or minimize pain, discomfort, and limitations almost anywhere in your body.
Through ambulatory care, our physical therapists offer a fundamentally new form of strengthening exercises to help you recover from injuries and illnesses to your:
- Knees
- Shoulders
- Hips
- Hands
- Elbows
- Feet
- Back
- Pelvic floor muscles
Your first impression of physical therapy may be from your doctor’s referral after surgery or an injury. You stand the best chance of a full recovery by regaining your strength and flexibility with professionals who can safely control and monitor how you move. Physical therapists guide you in the proper way to move to ensure your muscles and bones recover to regain maximum strength and flexibility. This also helps prevent future injury.
The practice of physical therapy began in the 1800s as a way to help polio victims. It gained traction in the 20th century, helping soldiers injured in war. Today, it’s a proven pain management practice that not only stops you from hurting but also corrects the physical causes of certain pain. Whether you’re suffering muscular, skeletal, or nervous pain, you can find lasting relief at Tri PT in Brooklyn, an outpatient rehabilitation center.
Your Brooklyn-based physical therapist has the tools and expertise to keep your body moving as you strive to overcome certain illnesses and injuries in your life. Medical conditions such as multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, deformities of the spine or limbs, strokes, and other medical conditions can compromise your mobility, which further causes your muscles to degenerate.
Additionally, simple guidance and education regarding posture and proper form help children, actors, athletes, singers, and dancers. Avoiding injury is always preferable to repair and recovery.
