How Physical Therapy Works in the Body
Physical therapy helps your body heal by addressing the root causes of pain and mobility loss. Techniques may include:
- Manual therapy to reduce stiffness in joints and soft tissues.
- Therapeutic exercise to rebuild muscle strength, restore mobility, and retrain proper movement patterns.
- Neuromuscular re-education to reconnect nerves and muscles, improving coordination and reducing reinjury risk.
These approaches work with your body’s natural healing process, creating safer, more efficient movement that lasts.
