Physical Therapy Services | Rehabilitation | Tyler Texas

Physical therapy services are performed by a licensed physical therapist in order to make daily activities and work tasks easier to perform. A physical therapist is specially trained to relieve pain while promoting a greater range of motion and mobility in patients affected by an injury or health condition, as well as after surgery. Pain Recovery Center of Tyler offers various rehabilitation and physical therapy services to individuals living in the Greater Tyler, Texas communities.

The first rehabilitation step is to reduce pain and swelling in the affected area. This is achieved with over-the-counter medications, pain management injections, manual therapy, heat, cold or ultrasound stimulation. The second step is exercise. Exercise and physical activity are essential to a healthy body, so physical therapy services almost always include some form of exercise. Common examples include weight lifting, walking and stretching. 

Physical therapy services can benefit almost, if not all, patients who are suffering from a musculoskeletal injury, are recovering from an orthopedic surgery or are having difficulties walking and maintaining proper balance and coordination.
