Finding the Right Physical Therapist
Finding the right physical therapist is important to your recovery from physical aches and pains as well as mobility issues that hamper you from leading the quality of life you desire. The relationship between a patient and a physical therapist is an intimate one. They will be their for your struggles as well as your triumphs. Recovering from an injury–whether it is occupational or simply from an accident or age, can be a laborious process depending on the injury at hand. However, with working with the right physical therapist can help you overcome those challenges and leave a rehabilitation program better than when you came in. Consider these things when choosing a physical therapist:
1 – Are They Licensed?
When finding the right physical therapist the first thing you should do is look at accreditations. It may seem obvious to some, but finding an APTA licensed physical therapist is the most important step. Many people opt to visit other types of healthcare professionals such as chiropractors–who have their place, but do not possess the licensure or qualifications a licensed PT will have.
2 – Find Someone with Experience
When you’ve found a licensed professional, inquire about how much experience they have. Experience is key in dealing with more difficult or impairing injuries. You want the best treatment possible, and in the case of physical therapy, getting that treatment hinges upon working with a professional that has amassed years of experience and has seen many different types of injuries. This clinical experience will allow them to apply the best judgment when treating your injury or helping you with your physical condition.
3 – Don’t Settle / Do Extensive Research
When finding the right physical therapist, many people are happy to simply choose someone nearby and call it a day. Doing so can really shortchange your treatment outcomes. Convenience is an important part of treatment–after all, you couldn’t possibly fly out of state every time you needed to go to a session. However, finding the first PT office in your neighborhood may not always be the best choice. Our staff at Healing Therapeutics treats people from all over surrounding towns and counties. They choose to travel just a little bit further to visit us because of our track record for excellence and our ample years of experience in the field.
