Weight Loss and Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is often equated with something you need if you have been injured. Physical therapy can be also be a weight management tool. For example, you may have back pain or neck pain that prevents you from exercising. Because you feel like you can't exercise you gain weight. Well, physical therapy can help with back, neck, or many other pains you may have. Once those issues are taken care then exercising becomes more doable and as a result you lose weight.

If you've been injured and you're struggling to recover because of weight issues or you have been advised that physical therapy can help with weight management then a physical therapist can help you. Physical therapists have the training to get you back on track with your health. Physical therapists are experts at improving mobility for individuals. Often weight management issues can vary from person to person so a physical therapist can develop an individualized physical activity plan to meet your goals and that is manageable for you.
