Hi, I’m Jarvis Odgers, physical therapist and clinic director here at Rebound Physical Therapy. Rebound is an outpatient physical therapy clinic that is dedicated to helping people get back to the lifestyles and activities that they know and enjoy.
Today, I would like to talk to you about why physical therapy should be your first line of defense when dealing with any physical ailment or condition which is causing pain or limiting your function with your normal activities.
How a Physical Therapist Can Help You
As physical therapists, we are the movement specialists, meaning that we are highly trained to analyze and assess how the human body moves and functions. In short, we work really hard to get you moving and feeling better.
Now, one of the primary reasons that physical therapy should be part of your first line of defense is the speed at which we move. When you call our clinic, we can typically get you set up for an appointment within a couple of days, sometimes even that same day. That means you can come in, you can have an evaluation, you can start treatment, start feeling better and get moving on that road to recovery very quickly. It also allows you to be proactive in managing your healthcare needs. And you can do this even while you’re waiting on additional tests, maybe advanced imaging, such as an MRI or a consultation with a specialist, which can sometimes take time.
Physical Therapy Relieves Pain, Swelling and Limited Mobility
Now, I’ll be the first to admit, physical therapy can’t solve all problems, but we can typically make significant improvements in pain, swelling, and mobility, which puts you in the best possible position to respond in a positive manner if you do need additional medical care, such as an injection or even surgery.
So, if you’re out there listening to this and you’re suffering from pain, or you have some limited mobility or limited function, if you’re not able to go out there and live your life to its fullest, then give us a call. Don’t wait; don’t be passive. We’ve got a great team of professionals that are going to work really hard to get you back to that road to recovery today.
Don’t suffer in silence! Call us today at (785) 271-5533, or visit our website at https://reboundphysicaltherapy.com/ to schedule a FREE Physical Therapy Screening with our movement specialists!
