How Soon Should I Start Physiotherapy After My Injury?
Accidents and injuries happen. Everyday, people tweak their back shoveling snow, roll their ankle going down the stairs, or pull a muscle lifting a heavy parcel. Most peoples initial inclination is to wait their injury out to see if it will heal on its own. Unfortunately we often see that this “waiting” period does not produce the results that people desire.
With any injury, there are different stages of healing that the injured tissue must go through. During the acute (or new) injury phase, hands on treatment and specific exercises are your best option for a successful outcome. Failure to seek treatment during this acute phase will prolong your recovery and lower your healing potential.
At MOMENTUM Physical Therapy in Okotoks, our physical therapists are trained to identify new injures, provide hands to treatment to ease your pain, and to provide you with exercises to maximize the speed of your recovery. Seeking treatment right after sustaining an injury will always lead to a better outcome.
If you have recently sustained an injury to any part of your body, don't wait and call MOMENTUM Physical Therapy today to find out how we can speed up your recovery and get you back to your regular self. 1-403-982-5600
