Who Really Needs Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy is a valuable healthcare service that can benefit individuals at various stages of life and for a wide range of reasons. 90% of people who need PT right now aren’t getting it! How many folks do you know who get regular massages “just to function” but really need their problem resolved by an expert in musculoskeletal disorders? Every single one of us will need PT at some point. Here’s an overview of who might benefit from physical therapy throughout their lifetime:
1. Children
Always seek out an experienced Pediatric Specialist in Physical Therapy.
2. Adolescents to Middle Age:
- Orthopedic Issues: Individuals in their twenties and thirties may seek physical therapy for issues such as back pain, muscle strains, and joint problems.
- Preventing Surgery or Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Avoiding the need for surgery altogether, and before and after surgeries, such as joint replacements or ligament repairs, physical therapy is often crucial for recovery and regaining mobility.
- Sports Injuries: Athletes may need physical therapy to recover from injuries, prevent future injuries, and enhance performance, gaining strength and flexibility.
- Workplace Injuries: Those with injuries related to their occupation may benefit from physical therapy to restore function and prevent future problems.
3. Seniors:
- Balance and Fall Prevention: Seniors often benefit from physical therapy to improve balance and reduce the risk of falls, which is crucial for maintaining independence.
- Joint Replacement Rehabilitation: Physical therapy is commonly prescribed after joint replacement surgeries to optimize recovery and mobility.
- Osteoporosis Management: Exercises to improve bone density and reduce the risk of fractures can be incorporated into physical therapy for older individuals.
- Stroke Survivors: Physical therapy is crucial for stroke survivors to regain motor skills and improve functional independence.
- Neurodegenerative Disorders: Individuals with conditions like Parkinson’s or multiple sclerosis can benefit from physical therapy to manage symptoms and maintain mobility.

They actually take the time to figure out what your issue is and then formulate a individualized plan to fix you! The best part is that the Therapists actually care! I have only had a few visits and my neck and back are starting to feel better! Customer service is on point as well. I know with Patriot PT I will be back to my activities sooner than later!
