We’ve all heard of it – you go to the physical therapist after a nasty injury. But what exactly is physical therapy anyways?

Physical therapy uses a variety of physical techniques to increase mobility, relieve pain, and aid in the recovery of your injuries.

A good physiotherapist will promote, maintain, or restore your health through physical examination, diagnosis, prognosis, patient education, physical intervention, rehabilitation, disease prevention, and health promotion.

But how, you may ask?

The answer is not so straight forward, as you have many different types of therapy, each related to a specific problem:

-Vestibular/Balance
-Cardiovascular and pulmonary
-Clinical electrophysiology
-Geriatric
-Wound management
-Neurology
-Orthopedics
-Pediatrics
-Sports
-Women's health
-Oncology
-Intensive care

One thing you can be sure of is that your physiotherapist will work closely alongside you to identify what is causing your problem, provide a detailed routine for proper recovery, and find preventative measures to ensure the problem never comes back.

The most common form of treatment consists in specific exercises targeted at rebuilding the injured areas of your body.

Recovering from an injury is never easy, but a good physiotherapist will make sure that your journey is as smooth, efficient, and effective as possible.

So give us a call today at (708) 445-3965, and we’ll walk down this road together – so you can make the most of this beautiful life.

Mmhmm… everyone loves a good massage…
But what exactly is happening underneath the surface?
A massage makes changes to your body through two mechanisms:
-The relaxation response, which is an involuntary response of your nervous system to the relaxing nature of a massage
-Mechanical responses, which are the physical effects that occur when pressure is applied to soft tissues
The relaxation response causes your breathing and heart rate to slow, your blood pressure to decrease, and a decrease in stress hormone production.
This all culminates in relief from the physical effects of stress, such as hypertension, anxiety, insomnia, cardiac arrhythmias, persistent fatigue, sexual dysfunction, digestive disorders, psychological issues, and more.
The mechanical responses are just as important, giving you an increase in blood and lymph circulation, and a normalization of the soft tissue, which releases nerves and deep connective tissues.
Improved circulation enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscle cells. As your cellular health improves, tissues function more efficiently. This leads to better removal of waste products and may increase the absorption of extra fluids, reducing swelling in soft tissues.
All this to say that massages are the best.
But we didn't need to tell you that ;)

Call us today at 708-445-3965 to book a massage and start feeling the benefits right away!

Accidents happen – and that is why physiotherapists are around!

We are very proud of every patient who gives it their all and braves the journey to recovery. Have you ever undergone physical therapy? How long did it last, and what was it for?

Here’s another doozie:
All physical therapy can be done at home…

I’m thinking about starting physical therapy – do I need a prescription?
It all depends on the state you’re in.
For example, we have direct access laws that allow you to visit a physiotherapist without the need to see a physician first.
However, despite these direct access laws, some insurance plans will still require that you see a physician first in order to receive reimbursement for your treatment.
The best bet is to call your insurance provider to clear up any confusion about whether you can be reimbursed for any physical therapy services.
If you still have questions, give us a call (708) 445-3965 and we will be happy to help!
