Everyone experiences pain at some time in their lives. Acute pain can be due to injury, illness, or surgical procedures. This pain often resolves as the body’s natural processes lead to healing.
However, at times pain does not resolve and instead becomes a constant part of daily life. This chronic pain regardless of its source, can lead to decreased daily function causing both physical and psychological distress.

• Points to Consider About Physical Therapy & Pain
An important aspect to keep in mind about physical therapy and pain relief is that each individual may respond differently to therapy. People have different types of bodies, different patterns of movement, and different habits. Physical therapists and our trained staff can evaluate each individual and try to correct improper habits and movement patterns.
