PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Physical therapists are an extremely valuable part of the medical team. Numerous health conditions can have an impact on our ability to move and function, and physical therapists can make a huge difference in your speedy recovery.
However, physical therapy can also help you avoid injury and surgery.
One of the most valuable roles can be helping a person with strength and flexibility. Physical therapists can assess you and closely examine where you are weak or growing weaker to help you safely build strength.
Being strong and flexible are two of the most important ways to avoid falls.
