Twin Boro Physical Therapy offers personalized physical therapy in New Jersey to help patients achieve their goals.
Personalized physical therapy is physical therapy that has been specifically tailored for the individual patient’s needs. For example, while two patients may have the same diagnosis, the patients will likely differ in their medical history, prominent symptoms, lifestyle, and movement goals. Based on each patient’s in-clinic assessment, a physical therapist at Twin Boro Physical Therapy will design a care plan with progressive milestones to help the patient maximize their movement and reduce symptoms.
In addition to personalized treatment plans, we pair each patient one-on-one with a physical therapist to allow for real-time adjustments during their sessions. If a physical therapist notices their patient is responding well to a certain treatment and another type is less effective, they can alter the care plan toward what is most effective and make the most of time in the clinic. This individualized pairing also allows for open communication between the patient and therapist, creating a safe space for feedback and discussion. Rehabilitation is not always a linear journey and looks different for everyone, so it is important that patients feel in control of their care and comfortable asking questions.
Benefits of physical therapy
There are many potential benefits of physical therapy, with patients benefiting differently depending on their condition and goals. However, many patients experience the following benefits:
Pain relief
Pain relief is one of the most common benefits of physical therapy. Many patients experience significant acute and chronic pain reduction by completing therapeutic exercises, joint mobilization, hot and cold therapy, and other types of physical therapy modalities. In many cases, physical therapy can prevent progressive pain from worsening or reduce future pain.
Increase mobility, balance, and strength
Physical therapy is highly tailored to what the patient needs. This can be restoring mobility after an accident or stroke, strengthening muscles after an injury, improving balance, helping patients return to specific activities or sports they love, and much more. When you begin, you will discuss your goals with your physical therapist.
Prevent surgery
Physical therapy is a common first line of treatment for many patients experiencing movement difficulties. In these cases, physical therapy is used to eliminate symptoms or restore function that would be targeted through surgical interventions. This is common for many musculoskeletal injuries and is often highly successful. If surgery is needed, physical therapy beforehand can lead to faster recovery times due to increased strength and health before the procedure.
Prevent future injuries
If you are at-risk for a particular injury, physical therapy can be a great way to take preventative measures. For example, elderly patients are often at a higher risk of falls. Physical therapy can reduce this risk through balance and gait training. Baseball players, on the other hand, are at a high risk of shoulder injuries. Training to strengthen the rotator cuff and increase stability can reduce the likelihood of these injuries before they occur.
