As those who know the value of regular exercise, primary care physicians encourage our patients to cultivate an active lifestyle. Appropriate, healthy levels of exercise contribute greatly to health and longevity, staving off many of the top killers that take humans off this planet. That said, we also recognize that an active lifestyle comes with risk of injury, whether from trauma or repeated strain. While many people recognize the benefit of rest for healing minor injuries, few consider physical therapy necessary or helpful, except in the case of more extreme damage. Today, I’d like to offer a different perspective. Physical therapy (PT) often forms the cornerstone of effective injury recovery, whether that injury is big or small. Guided activity that properly stimulates the affected area helps facilitate true healing, but it also requires time, effort, attention, and energy. Consequently, physical therapy doesn’t always spring to mind as a feasible option for busy individuals with packed schedules. Let’s discuss some common misconceptions about physical therapy and how to decide when an injury would benefit from PT. #conciergemedicine #conciergedoctor #optimalhealth #healthmultipliers #physicaltherapy #PT
