What Is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapists are experts in movement who specialize in treating mobility issues like walking and other physical activities. They focus on pain relief, muscle strengthening, and retraining your body to move correctly.
By doing exercises in the clinic and at home, you'll build strength, enhance balance, boost stamina, and reduce pain, all without medication or surgery side effects. At Stride, our physical therapists are as dedicated to your healing as you are and will support you in meeting your goals.
How Does Therapy Benefit My Well-being?
Starting a workout habit can be tough, especially with chronic pain. Many people use meds to ease pain or, sadly, stop being active. If exercising with pain worries you, you're in good company. Yet, there's a simpler path to staying active.
Our Stride physical therapists can guide you back to a painless, active life, helping you enjoy your favorite activities again. A healthy life requires work, but with routine, it gets easier.

5 Activities To Improve Your Health
Living with constant pain can make the thought of exercise seem impossible. But the reality is, adding even gentle physical activity to your daily routine can significantly enhance your well-being, ease of movement, and general happiness. Read on to discover the benefits of staying active for a healthier, more comfortable life!
The Importance of Good Health
Being healthy is all about your body working at its best, from breathing to blood flow to digesting food. You don't need to be a top athlete - every little thing you do for your body counts toward better health. At Stride Physical Therapy, your physical therapist can guide you with exercises, stretches, and diet tips to boost your health and fitness level.
Physical Therapy Can Improve Your Overall Health Naturally!
Whether on your own or within a full physical therapy program, diverse activities can aid recovery and pain management. Our physical therapist can craft a personalized exercise plan matching your recovery goals if you're healing from injury, uncertain about what exercises suit you, or struggling with chronic pain.
Our expert will evaluate your health condition and goals to recommend the ideal exercises. Combining this with therapeutic techniques like massage, ultrasound, dry needling, hot and cold treatments, acupuncture, or laser therapy can amplify your healing. They work by repairing tissues, soothing inflammation, and alleviating pain, thus enhancing movement and quality of life.
5 Activities to Enhance Your Health
Cycling
Cycling enhances heart health, balance, and leg strength. It’s also lower-impact than running, making it suitable for those with back or knee issues.
Swimming
Swimming reduces the effects of gravity on the body, making it ideal for individuals with arthritis or extremity injuries. Even non-swimmers can benefit from water activities.
Running
Running improves heart and lung health and can reduce pain sensitivity. The "runner's high" offers pain-reducing benefits for chronic pain sufferers.
Weight Training
Weight training builds muscle tissue that supports joints and helps maintain bone density, reducing muscle wastage as you age.
Walking
Walking requires no special equipment and offers low-impact exercise. It improves circulation and benefits weight-bearing joints, especially for those with arthritis.
Additional Tips for Maintaining Good Health
Living healthily requires work, but it gets easier. It's important to eat well, and although exercise may be tough if you have chronic pain, it's key. Opt for physical therapy over medication to tackle pain and lead a healthier life.
