PT

Physical therapy involves the interaction between therapist(s), patients or clients, other health care professionals, families, caregivers, and communities in a process where movement potential is assessed and diagnosed and goals are agreed upon. Physical therapy is performed by a physical therapist and sometimes services are provided by a physical therapist assistant (PTA) acting under their direction. Physicians and physical therapists often work together to provide treatment for patients.

Physical Therapy benefits the patient through the use of its various techniques for pain treatment and pain management. The practice is also an outstanding tool to use for post-surgical rehab, as it helps the patient recover from their procedure. PT will help patients gain back their strength and willpower, allowing them to return to everyday activities without the presence of debilitating discomfort. At PMRofLI, the experienced staff of physical therapists can put together a strategic plan that will target the patient’s specified areas of discomfort in an effort to reduce pain in the afflicted area. 

Similar to post-surgical rehab, pre-surgical rehab also offers several benefits. Perhaps the most efficient being that some patients can use physical therapy as an alternative to surgery, depending upon the severity of your injury. This accomplished through the practice’s ability to “reteach” and strengthen your muscles, leading to a more natural healing process. PT is also able to improve the patient’s range of motion, allowing them to move freely without pain. For athletes, physical therapy can also be extremely beneficial for improving coordination by incorporating training methods for stability and balance. Primarily, the practice focuses on restoring the patients’ ability to function freely and help improve the overall quality of life. Patients who have been injured, or are looking for methods to prevent injury, should contact our pain management doctor in Suffolk County for assistance in finding the right physical therapist.
