Redefining Physical Therapy.
Injuries happen, whether it’s in sports, everyday life, or simply bad luck. There is no avoiding aches and pains, so do not beat yourself up over it. Instead, channel that frustration into taking action. Don’t know what to do? Don’t worry, that’s why I’m here.
There is no such thing as “bullet proofing” or “injury proofing” yourself, it is a catchy tagline but also misleading. What you can do is make yourself more resilient to injury and decrease your chance of injury. A term I much prefer, with more truth behind it, is “injury mitigation”.
Physical therapy is a valuable tool for everyone. If you are someone dealing with an injury whether it’s recent or long standing, physical therapy can be your white knight. Physical therapy can teach you how to take control of your body to return to a pain free existence, as intended.
If you are injury free and taking part in life to the fullest, that's great, you're likely doing a lot of things right whether you are aware of it or not. Even so, physical therapy can be a great tool to even further increase resistance to injury, improve the timeliness in which you get over an injury, and improve self management of injury when it occurs.
If you are an injury free athlete looking to improve performance, physical therapy can be a great tool to unlock further athletic potential, improve movement efficiency, and of course for injury mitigation.
In summary, injuries happen, but don’t let them stand in your way. Physical therapy can and should be for everyone. Whether you’re an athlete looking to reap the benefits of untapped potential or a 9-5 desk jockey dealing with stubborn neck stiffness, BioPerfomance Physical Therapy is here for you.
