Physical Therapy Q & A
What is physical therapy?
Physical therapy (PT) consists of a series of exercises that are custom-designed to help you recover from an accident or trauma, manage chronic pain, and strengthen your body. You may need PT if you:
- Suffer from chronic pain
- Had a motor vehicle or other type of accident
- Recently fell
- Recently had surgery
- Recently gave birth
- Have arthritis
- Have diabetes or another chronic condition
Your physical therapist can also help strengthen your pelvic floor to alleviate incontinence or other genitourinary or bowel disorders.
When should I get PT?
Your Spine Center and Orthopedic Rehabilitation of Englewood, PC, physician may recommend PT if you haven’t responded to other treatments. They may also advise you to strengthen an injured area with PT before resorting to more drastic measures, such as surgery. Athletes might request PT to help speed recovery after an injury, or to help prevent injuries in the future.
What happens in a PT session?
The physical therapists who work with Spine Center and Orthopedic Rehabilitation of Englewood, PC, have a wide range of treatment equipment and modalities. They custom -design your PT based on your symptoms and areas of weakness in your body.

- Stretching exercises
- Passive joint mobilization

Your therapist designs your program to match your current level of health and fitness, and then gradually increases the number of repetitions or length of exercises to help you get stronger.

Can I do PT at home, too?
