Physical Therapy
My Routine
Physical therapy is a non-invasive discipline that helps individuals develop, maintain and restore maximum body movement and physical function. Physical therapy can help clients recover from an injury, relieve pain, prevent future injury or deal with a chronic condition.
- PT three times a week
- Massage
- Stem
- Stretching
What Happened to me?
- is a therapeutic treatment that applies electrical stimulation in treating muscle spasms and pain
- It can help prevent atrophy and build strength in patients with injuries.
- mimicking the natural way by which the body exercises its muscles
- The electrodes attached to the skin deliver impulses that make the muscles contract
- Increases range of motion and improves circulation
