Musculoskeletal Conditions

Physical therapy may be helpful  in treating conditions affecting the muscles, bones, and joints. These conditions can cause pain, stiffness, weakness, and difficulty performing everyday activities. Some musculoskeletal conditions treated by physical therapy include:

• Back and neck pain: This is a widespread issue that can arise from various factors, including poor posture, injuries, and degenerative conditions. Physical therapy can help alleviate pain, improve flexibility, and strengthen core muscles for better support.
• Sports injuries: Sprains, strains, and other sports-related injuries may hinder an athlete's performance and recovery. The good news is that physical therapy can play an important role in sports rehabilitation by promoting healing, restoring range of motion, and enhancing athletic performance.
• Arthritis: This group of conditions causes inflammation and degeneration of joints. Physical therapy can't cure arthritis but might help reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and strengthen muscles for better joint support.
• Joint replacements: Following surgery to replace a joint, physical therapy may help you regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the replaced joint.

Neurological Conditions

Physical therapy can also be beneficial for individuals with neurological conditions that affect movement and coordination. Some examples include:

• Stroke: Physical therapy can help stroke survivors regain lost mobility, improve balance, and relearn essential skills for daily living.
• Spinal cord injuries: While physical therapy cannot reverse spinal cord damage, it might help improve a patient's function and independence by strengthening remaining muscles, preventing complications, and teaching adaptive techniques.
