Physical Therapy FAQs

Are you recovering from an injury or recently had surgery? You may be dealing with a reduced range of motion and weakened muscles as you recover. Fortunately, your chiropractor near me at Marron Wellness Center in Eatontown, NJ, offers physical therapy and physiotherapy to help you regain your mobility and strength. We are here to answer frequently asked questions about physical therapy to empower you with the knowledge necessary to seek appropriate care.

What Is Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy is a healthcare specialty focused on restoring and improving movement. This therapy helps your muscles and joints recover from injury, illness, or surgery while managing pain. You can also benefit from physical therapy if you have medical conditions like heart disease or a neurological disorder. Your chiropractor near me will work closely with you to restore, maintain, and promote your overall health and range of motion.

How Can Physical Therapy Help Me?

This kind of therapy helps your body in many ways, such as the following:

• Rebuilds muscle strength
• Restores range of motion
• Improves mobility
• Eases stiffness and pain
• Helps improve athletic performance after a sports injury
• Promotes healing

What Is the First Session Like?

Your chiropractor will begin your first session by evaluating your medical history and measuring your range of motion and strength. They do this to establish a baseline that you will improve through physical therapy. Your chiropractor will then introduce you to physical therapy exercises you can perform in the office and at home.

What Will I Do During Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy includes multiple exercises and stretches. Your recommended exercises and stretches vary based on the cause and severity of your injury or illness. For example, you may work on stretching and strengthening knee muscles to recover from a knee injury. Our team will determine which exercises work best for your recovery or condition. We will let you know what to expect during each visit.

Does Physical Therapy Hurt?

You may experience some minor pain and discomfort when you begin physical therapy. However, you will not be doing exercises or stretches that cause severe pain. Talk with your chiropractor if you experience significant pain or discomfort. They can adjust your exercises and stretches to accommodate your needs.

How Many Sessions Do I Need?

The amount of sessions you need depends on your reason for physical therapy. Chronic pain or surgery recovery may require more sessions than restoring mobility from a minor injury. Your physical therapy can take anywhere from a few weeks to multiple months. Your chiropractor can outline your expected timeline during your initial session and make adjustments as you progress.
