Balance and Co-ordination
Balance and coordination are two important aspects of physical therapy that can help people improve their mobility, function, and quality of life. Balance is the ability to control one’s center of gravity within the limit of base of support, while coordination is the ability to execute smooth, accurate, and controlled motor responses. Both balance and coordination depend on the interaction of multiple body systems, such as the cerebellum, the vestibular system, the visual system, and the proprioceptive system. Physical therapy can help people with balance and coordination problems by assessing their condition, designing a personalized treatment plan, and providing evidence-based interventions. Some of the common causes of balance and coordination problems are aging, neurological disorders, injuries, infections, and medications. Some of the common interventions used by physical therapists for balance and coordination are exercises, manual therapy, modalities, education, and home program instructions.
Certified Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is any type of hands-on treatment that is intended to improve the function of a specific part of the body. Injury, disease, swelling, or surgery can all cause joints and soft tissue to become inflamed and painful, limiting flexibility and mobility. Physical therapists are experts in movement science as well as the musculoskeletal system as a whole. They examine not only how your body moves now, but also what is possible with a combination of targeted exercise and hands-on treatments. Each patient receives different types of manual therapy based on their pain level, the affected area, whether they have had surgery, and their ability to move. To determine the best course of therapy to pursue, your physical therapist will assess your movement and pain levels. Some of these most common types of manual therapy may be included in your rehabilitation experience.
Strength and Conditioning
Strength and conditioning is a type of physical training that aims to improve the strength, power, and endurance of an individual. It can help you achieve your fitness goals, prevent injuries, enhance your quality of life, and improve your athletic performance. Strength and conditioning training is based on the principles of sports science, physiology of exercise, and anatomy. This training includes selection and development of dynamic /static exercises used to improve physical performance. It can help you develop better movement patterns, increase your metabolism, reduce stress, and sharpen your thinking skills.
Pain Management
Pain management is an important aspect of physical therapy, as it can help patients cope with chronic or acute pain, improve their function and quality of life, and reduce the need for opioids or other medications. Physical therapy pain management involves a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s pain condition, the use of evidence-based interventions to address the physical, psychological, and social factors that contribute to pain, and the education of the patient on self-management strategies and coping skills. Some of the common interventions used by physical therapists for pain management are exercise, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, heat and cold therapy, acupuncture, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Physical therapy pain management can be beneficial for various types of pain, such as low back pain, neck pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, post-surgical pain, and sports injuries. Physical therapy pain management can also help prevent chronic pain from developing or worsening by addressing the underlying causes of pain and improving the patient’s physical and mental health. Physical therapy pain management is a safe and effective alternative to opioids or other medications that may have harmful side effects or potential for addiction.

The goal of pre-hab is to improve the patient’s strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and cardiorespiratory fitness before the surgery. This can help the patient cope better with the surgery, reduce the risk of complications, shorten the hospital stay, and facilitate the post-surgical recovery.
