Pain that strikes unexpectedly can have a big impact on your life. From sports to everyday activities, pain can cause discomfort, immobility and sometimes lead to serious injury. Preventative care is crucial for patients who want to prevent surgical treatments, maintain physical strength, maintain wellness and prevent future medical care. Assistance from therapists can make preventative care an essential part of any rehabilitation program. Wellness programs can include cardiovascular classes, group physical therapy sessions, health screenings and other activities that are useful at promoting physical fitness, boosting strength, improving flexibility and enhancing stamina. Preventative care helps go beyond physical therapy by helping instill good habits for improved wellness.
Consider preventative care if you often engage in these activities:
- Running
- Tennis
- Office work
- Gardening
