The whole body is connected in one way or another. If you’re experiencing joint pain in one area of your body, you’re likely feeling it in other parts as well. It is important to understand that an injured or arthritic joint is part of the whole body and not something that can be treated in isolation. The reason physiotherapy is so important to the recovery process is because of our interconnected skeletons.
In this post by Dr. Kevin Stone, “Physical Therapy is Vital to Joint Injury Treatment“, he explains in more detail the importance of receiving physiotherapy to figure out why the patient got injured, to teach the patient exercises and techniques in order to recover the injury, and to guide and motivate them to work to improve their issues. In some cases, physiotherapy can help patients avoid surgery altogether.
At Speers Health Clinics, our physiotherapists aim to keep your active lifestyle pain-free and will take you through the necessary steps in order to do so.
