Physical therapy offers numerous benefits for individuals experiencing both acute and chronic pain. Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling, actual or potential tissue damage. Acute pain describes pain due to injuries or post- surgical recovery. Chronic pain is persistent pain with substantial restriction of life activities lasting 6 months or more.
At Optimum Performance Physical Therapy, we work collaboratively with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that address the underlying causes of pain, and address dysfunctions in flexibility, strength, and functional abilities. Our goal is to empower individuals with self-management strategies and education to better understand their condition.
