New Trends in Physical Therapy

When it comes to rehab from surgery or an injury, it's a whole new ball game these days. Gone are long stretches of bed rest and weeks off from work. Today, doctors want you going right away with a round of physical therapy. That's because research suggests it's safe and leads to a speedier, better recovery.

Get Moving

In the past, your doctor would tell you to wrap your injured area to keep it still, Kokolis says. He would also suggest you take a break from your regular activities and rest in bed. But research flipped that way of thinking. Studies show that people who are active during recovery do better than those who take it easy.

Hands-on Techniques

Today, physical therapists take a more hands-on approach. They prefer manual therapy, also called bodywork, to get to the source of your pain and correct the issue. It helps with relaxation, flexibility, and pain relief.

Limit Your Use of Assistive Devices

A few decades back, if you had lower back problems, your doctor may have told you to wear a brace.

Today, assistive devices like braces, canes, crutches, splints, or special footwear are still used when necessary. But they're no longer go-to items.

Return to Your Regular Activities

Therapists shifted their focus to making you able to use your joint better. Now the goal is to get you back to your regular activities. At first, it may be getting you to the point where you can dress yourself or brush your hair. That may lead to walking, going up stairs, or lifting things.
