The Value of Physical Therapy for Orthopedic Injuries

Do you have to be in pain to see a physical therapist? Nope! People seek physical therapy for injury prevention for a variety of reasons including:

Preparing to train for a race or athletic competition
Walking up / down Seattle hills
Gardening or DIY-ing home renovations

Making an appointment with a physical therapist can be a great way to prevent injury when we are moving our bodies in repetitive, strenuous, and new ways.

Our physical therapists use an integrative approach to support your individual goals through combining patient education, a wide range of treatment modalities, and creating a personalized treatment plan for you.

Treatment plans often include a hybrid of in-office manual therapy and at-home exercise programs (HEPs). Together, you and your physical therapist will find the right exercises for your specific discomfort. Exercises for orthopedic injuries often focus on improving balance, flexibility, range of motion, and strength.
