Goals of Physical Therapy

Physical therapy provides a variety of benefits, including reduced pain, improved function, increased range of motion, proper alignment and more. Of course, the primary goal of physical therapy is restored function and a return to activity—but these things are often a byproduct of the larger rehabilitation process, during which many patients learn a whole new way of moving.

Physical Therapy is an education.

Most patients think they know how to move properly—until they start physical therapy. Physical therapists are trained to identify deficiencies in the biomechanics of the body. Often, physical therapists can target specific areas of weakness or improper alignment.

Most patients find physical therapy to be somewhat educational. It is an opportunity to learn about your own body and to identify movement patterns that are associated with your injury.

Prevent build-up of scar tissue: After an injury or surgery, it is natural for scar tissue to form; however, it is important to prevent the build-up of this scar tissue because this tissue can cause pain and tightness. Physical therapists use stretching and other manual techniques to prevent this build-up and ensure that the formation of scar tissue does not impede rehabilitation.

Fix faulty movement patterns: If you have an injury or chronic pain, physical therapy can help to address the underlying issues related to the pain. Not only can it provide pain relief, but it can also help you make corrections to prevent ongoing problems. Often, physical therapy is enough to address an injury and get you back in the game.

Strengthen: Strengthening exercises help strengthen surrounding musculature, which can help reduce strain on joints. Physical therapy will help you strengthen the muscles associated with your injury as well as surrounding muscles. Often, strength imbalances lead to injury.

Stretch tight muscles and joints: Stretching is important for maintaining flexibility and range of motion. Your physical therapist will design an appropriate stretching regimen for you.


Improve outcomes: Physical therapy helps improve post-surgical outcomes, by addressing pain, scar tissue, strength, range of motion, and more.

If you want pain relief, improved mobility, increased strength and flexibility, and proper alignment, don’t slack on your physical therapy. It is an important component of recovering from any injury.
