A visit to a physical therapist in the Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater, Florida, area may be in order if muscle or joint pain is keeping you from functioning comfortably. Physical therapists are licensed health care professionals who are uniquely trained to treat muscle and joint ailments that hinder mobility, and are often called upon to rehabilitate injured athletes, post-operative patients, arthritic patients, and individuals who have sustained trauma. By formulating an exercise plan to address the specific source of your pain, a physical therapist can help facilitate healing and restore your mobility.
Physical therapists work closely with orthopedists, who can determine if physical therapy should be prescribed as a standalone solution or to supplement other treatments like regenerative medicines and surgery. There are many musculoskeletal injuries and conditions that may warrant care from a physical therapist, including but not limited to:
- Meniscus tears
- ACL tears
- Osteoarthritis
- Bursitis
- Achilles tendon injury
- Sprains and strains
- Frozen shoulder
- Tendonitis
- Shin splints
- Rotator cuff tears
