Q: What is the purpose of Physical Therapy?

A:
The purpose of physical therapy is to help patients return to active life as quickly as posisble. Therapy strives to reduce pain, increase flexibility, range of motion and function, build strength, and correct posture. Physical therapy is often prescribed for patients following spine surgery, to treat soft tissue trauma, nerve inflammation/injury, muscle spasms, fractures, arthritis and many other medical conditions. Patient education is an important component of physical therapy. Patients learn about how their spine works, proper body mechanics, common disorders and their causes, benefits of good posture, importance of physical fitness and its relationship to injury and disease prevention.
