What are The Benifits of PT?
- Prevention | If you are active in recreational sports or just active with life, you can greatly reduce your risk of injury by consulting a PT and implementing their recommendations into your fitness/recreational program. PT’s specialize in movement screening and identifying any ‘at risk’ movement patterns that may lead to injury!
- Progression | APTF understands that issues in one region of the body can be linked to another region, so your plan of care will include all relevant body areas to maximize your outcomes! Some issues can only resolve and allow progression when all links of the bio-mechanical chain are addressed. APTF is also specially trained to help direct you in your current exercise program and provide guidelines to not only prevent injury but to progress based on your unique bio-mechanics!
- Reaction | Western Medicine is often ‘reactionary’ and waits until something does cause pain or does get injured or requires surgery. PT’s are better versed in physical rehab than any other medical profession and also specialize in post injury care.
- In other words,
- APTF can help you avoid injury with a bio-mechanical screening
- APTF can help you with post injury or post-surgical rehab to get you back to normal as soon as possible, typically in less time than other PT clinics based on specialty training and orthopedic certification!
