How do I know if I need physical therapy?

Asked 4 months ago
Determining whether you need physical therapy can depend on various factors related to your physical health and any symptoms you may be experiencing. Common indicators include chronic pain, difficulty in performing everyday activities, recent injuries, or surgery recovery. If you are experiencing persistent discomfort that does not improve over time, or if you have limitations in mobility, it may be beneficial to consider physical therapy as an option. In many cases, a healthcare provider might refer you to a physical therapist for evaluation and treatment to address specific issues related to your movement or pain levels. Additionally, physical therapy can aid in rehabilitation for sports injuries or conditions such as arthritis, back pain, or postural issues. It can also assist in improving strength, flexibility, and overall function. If you are unsure, it can be helpful to review your symptoms with a medical professional who can guide you based on your individual circumstances.
