Palm Coast Physical Therapy
In our society it’s not uncommon for people to live a fairly sedentary lifestyle and not realize that they are doing so. For example, we walk to the car, drive to work, sit at a desk, drive home and watch TV. We might go to the gym or do some sort of exercise throughout the week, but compared to years ago and the way our bodies were designed to function, we are living a much more sedentary lifestyle than we should.
Is Physical Therapy Exercise?
Physical therapy is designed specifically for each patient’s needs, overall health, complications or limitations. The interesting thing about physical therapy is the practitioners expect you to do your “homework,” which entails stretching, exercise programs and movement specifically targeted and tailored to your needs in between appointments. Physical therapists don’t want you to merely go through the motions once or twice a week, they want you to live your life in daily movement and they teach you how to function on an optimal level.
Physical therapists are highly trained practitioners who administer flexibility and strengthening activities based on their findings, emphasizing important and specific body mechanics to get your body moving with less pain and strain on your joints. The majority of people who undergo physical therapy see remarkable outcomes and lasting results. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) also launched new guidelines recently, recommending the use of physical therapy for chronic pain over painkillers like opioids.
Although pain medications disrupt the signals to the brain and mask the discomfort temporarily, if the underlying issues are not dealt with in a more synergistic approach through physical therapy, the chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues will lessen, but will still be present and most likely return. PT addresses the actual complications and disorders associated with pain and discomfort and are proven to be the most beneficial for long term regeneration and healing.
