Is Mobile Physical Therapy the Solution for Back Pain?
Many people suffer from back pain. Such pain can happen for numerous reasons and make basic, everyday activities more challenging. Although getting up and doing exercises may seem impossible, physical therapy can be an efficient way to reduce back pain.
Here’s why mobile physical therapy may be the right solution for back pain.
Personalized care
Whether acute or chronic, back pain can affect our quality of life. Not being able to play sports, pursue a hobby, or play with children can feel frustrating. It is common for back pain sufferers to try many exercises without seeing results, causing them to give up on solving the problem.
This is because many therapists have a one-size-fits-all approach. They don’t consider the patient’s weight, height, lifestyle, and other factors that can be essential for determining the right exercises.
With mobile physical therapy, it’s all about personalized care. Therapists commit to learning more about the patient’s pain, daily routine, other health issues, etc. They use this information to create unique exercise plans that give the desired results.
Restored mobility
One-on-one sessions with a therapist from the comfort of your home can quickly lead to excellent results. Besides working on mobility, therapists will look for the cause of the problem to prevent future back pain. For example, a therapist may recommend exercises for strengthening back muscles if that’s causing the pain.
Decreased pain
A physical therapist looks at one’s gait (a person’s manner of walking, sitting down, getting up, etc.) to determine what could be causing the pain. In most cases, repetitive movements that exacerbate back pain can be corrected with proper exercises.
Reduced risk of falls
Poor posture and degenerative diseases increase the chances of falls that could have devastating consequences. Mobile physical therapists tailor exercise plans that focus on the problem, reduce the risk of falls and eliminate the need for surgeries.
Valuable information
Mobile physical therapists aren’t there to magically take away the pain. They give detailed information about the pain’s causes, effects, and potential long-term consequences. Moreover, they provide education on how physical therapy can contribute to drug-free back pain management. Finally, they offer valuable tips on keeping your back in excellent shape.
Comfort and convenience
People with severe back pain often have difficulty getting up and walking. Going to a rehab center in such a condition can be very uncomfortable and frustrating. One of the most significant advantages of mobile physical therapy is that patients don’t need to struggle to make their way to the therapist’s office. Instead, therapists come to the patients’ doors, making the recovery process simpler and faster.
Live pain-free
Although medications can help with back pain, they aren’t a long-term solution. Don’t let back pain take control of your life. Instead, reach out to an experienced and reliable mobile physical therapist, learn more about your condition, and enjoy a pain-free life.
