When is the best time to start physical therapy?
In general, the earlier you start physical therapy, the quicker your symptoms will resolve. We start treatment according to the stage of recovery that you are in and the earlier we assess your injuries, the earlier we can promote the optimal healing conditions needed not to allow healing to slow and for you to entire the chronic stage. For most injuries, we also provide education in how the problem seems to have occurred and give you advise in how to best help yourself between therapy appointments also.
In general starting physical therapy should be done as early as possible. Initiating physical therapy early on will reduce the overall treatment time that you will require by not allowing the problem to become chronic. If you are in pain and or you are in an acute state, your program will be modified according to your signs and symptoms. What is done for you in physical therapy depends on the clinical stage you are presenting in, not just the diagnosis. Therefore, your care will be modified according to the signs and symptoms during the acute, sub-acute, and chronic phases of your problem.
