Take Charge of Your Recovery!

June 25, 2008
By Paul O'Brian

As Physical Therapists, we believe 75% of recovery depends on your involvement in a home program we set up with you. With many conditions and injuries, if you follow your home program as instructed and increase your self treatment, the frequency of physical therapy visits tends to be reduced.

Remember, physical therapy is a process. Seven days a week, you will need to exercise and treat yourself outside of this clinic to relieve the pain and stiffness commonly associated with injuries. We will follow your case until you are well or able to manage without us.

We will provide you with mechanisms and ideas for self treatment. Included among these may be instruction at public fitness centers. We can also help you find the equipment you need for self management and progressive training as Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists.
