Throwback Thursday: PT Myth-Busting
Let's debunk some common myths and misconceptions about physical therapy:
Myth #1: Physical therapy is only for injuries or post-surgery.
Reality: PT can help with chronic pain management, improve mobility, and even prevent injuries from happening in the first place. Performance-based physical therapy is a real thing and can be implemented into your daily/weekly routine to reduce the risk of future injuries!
Myth #2: You need a doctor's referral to see a physical therapist.
Reality: Not always. While some insurance plans may require a referral, many states in the US have direct access laws that allow you to see a PT without a doctor's note.
Myth #3: Physical therapy is just a bunch of exercises I can do on my own.
Reality: While exercise is a part of PT, a licensed physical therapist will work with you to create a customized plan that addresses your specific needs and goals.
Myth #4: Physical therapy is only for older adults or athletes.
Reality: PT can benefit anyone, regardless of age or fitness level. From pediatrics to geriatrics, physical therapy can help improve mobility, strength, and function.
Myth #5: Physical therapy is a quick fix.
Reality: PT is a process that takes time and commitment. A good therapist will work with you to set realistic goals and develop a plan to achieve them.
Don't believe the myths. Believe in the power of physical therapy. Share your own PT success story in the comments below!
