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.

Looking to Improve Your Physical Health? Here are 6 Ways Physical Therapy Can Help
Are you struggling because of poor physical health? Your body's fitness is deeply connected to your happiness and mental state. Mayo Clinic research shows that active people often have longer lives and enjoy perks such like losing weight, building muscles, and having better health in general.
It might be tough to start exercising more, but a physical therapist can make it easier. Discover how Stride Physical Therapy's physical therapy can enhance your health:
1. Physical Therapy Treats Both Acute and Chronic Pain
Physical therapy helps greatly with both sudden and long-term pain. MoveForwardPT says that being more active can make you feel up to 28% less pain. When patients know why they hurt and how therapy will assist them, they're more apt to find relief from their pain through treatment.
2. Physical Therapy is a Safe, Natural, and Non-Invasive Option
Physical therapy offers a safe and non-invasive alternative to pain management, reducing the need for pain medications and surgery. It lowers the risk of infections, complications, and side effects, presenting a safer option than opioids and surgical treatments.
3. Physical Therapy Decreases the Risk of Injuries and Cardiovascular Problems
Strengthening muscles and joints through physical therapy can reduce the risk of injuries in everyday activities. Stronger muscles recover faster, decreasing the likelihood of repetitive stress injuries. An active lifestyle also helps protect against major health issues like stroke and heart attack.
4. Physical Therapy Helps Heal Damaged Tissues
A 2018 study by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) found that physical therapy holds promise in treating tissue damage, such as meniscal tears. This suggests additional benefits for other tissue injuries, helping those with injuries or a history of injuries improve stamina and overall function.
5. Physical Therapy Provides Energy Boosts
Physical therapy improves range of motion and activity levels. According to Harvard Health Publishing, increased activity is linked to higher energy levels. Patients with pain often experience greater mobility and energy with less discomfort through physical therapy.
6. Physical Therapy Enhances Mood and Reduces the Risk of Mental Illness
Physical therapy and consistent exercise improve your mental well-being and brighten your mood, says the National Institutes of Health. Feeling better mentally can decrease your chances of suffering from anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges. Plus, if you're in good mental shape, you're less prone to pain and swelling.
