Having the ability to be physically active regularly is one of the most important ways you can maintain or improve your health. Being physically active can improve your brain health, help manage weight, reduce the risk of disease, strengthen bones and muscles, and improve your ability to do everyday activities. But what if pain or injury makes movement a challenge? Thankfully, you have a partner in health at Bay State Physical Therapy.
Partners in Health
The ability to be active and healthy is uniquely tied to what you are capable of based on safety. This is especially true if you have a complex medical history or previous injuries that put you at risk. As your partner in health, we will conduct a thorough review of your medical history, and assess your strength and mobility. We will use this to prescribe a care plan that helps you safely improve function to help you reach your optimal health. As a member of your care team, we work closely with your other medical professionals to ensure you are involved in every step of your care.
Partners in Movement
It’s a perfect time of year to reflect on your blessings while also taking stock of where you can make improvements, especially with your health. Regular exercise benefits your physical and mental health, even at a low or beginner level. However, far too many people allow pain or injuries to get in the way. According to the CDC, only 1 in 4 adults and 1 in 6 teens meet the recommended guidelines for exercise
If you have given up the activities you love or feel unsafe doing them, don’t just settle. Working with a physical therapist can help give you the tools needed to safely perform activities that are appropriate for you. Working together, they can show you how slight changes to your favorite activities to keep you safe. Physical therapists work to diminish pain, restore function, and remove barriers to a movement-filled life.
Partner in Safety
In addition to helping people overcome injuries, physical therapists can help reduce your risk of injuries in the future. From identifying risks of over-use injuries to initiating fall prevention protocols, your PT is a partner across the spectrum of life.
