There are a lot of practical reasons to add physical therapy to your workout and recovery routines in order to become the best version of yourself. Here are four (4) of the top reasons why you should start PT today:
1. Pain Management
Whether it’s through the use of deep tissue massage, cupping, acupuncture, or body re-adjustment, PT is a great way to help manage pain.
2. Improved Range of Motion
As we age, most people tend to become overly tight in certain muscle groups which play a key role in reducing range of motion. PT does an excellent job of restoring joints to their optimal range of motion.
3. Improved Balance and Coordination
During the aging process, muscles tend to lose strength and pliability, leading to poor postural control, and an increased propensity for slips and falls. PT can help improve posture, resulting in better overall balance and coordination.
4. Enhanced Recovery
Ultimately, everything mentioned above enhances your body’s ability to recover more quickly from strenuous exercise programming and training.
