Physical Therapy is only for Injuries and Accidents? Is it a Myth?
This statement is a myth. Physical therapy is not limited to treating only injuries and accidents; its scope is broader and includes a variety of conditions and preventive measures. Therapists do a lot more than just stretch or strengthen weak muscles after an injury or surgery. They are skilled at evaluating and diagnosing potential problems before they lead to more-serious injuries or disabling conditions from carpal tunnel syndrome or a frozen shoulder to chronic headaches or lower-back.
