Physical Rehabilitation with emphasis on optimal function for maximum results.

The Importance of Looking at the Entire Person in Correcting Painful Conditions

Many painful conditions are the byproduct of muscle imbalances and dysfunctional movement patterns. If not corrected, these contribute to joints and muscles bearing uneven or unnatural loads, which lead to breakdown of those structures and ultimately pain. Correcting all the structures that contribute to normal motion is essential – which means testing the flexibility, strength, and coordination of the entire body.
Our unique approach to Physical Rehabilitation has changed many lives in Roanoke, Virginia by correcting muscle imbalances, restoring strength, flexibility, and proper function. Find out if Physical Rehabilitation will help you by scheduling an evaluation with Balance Wellspace today.

Benefits of Physical Rehabilitation 

Physical Rehabilitation provides significant help for both acute and chronic conditions. It can also be vital to aid in full recovery from certain injuries and/or medical procedures. The right therapy can help address underlying weakness and loss of motion necessary for normal function. For an acute injury, therapy can also be beneficial for reducing inflammation and pain – which is frequently recommended as the least invasive, best place to start for many conditions.

The greatest benefit from Physical Rehabilitation is during recovery after injury, surgery, or stroke. Active Physical Rehabilitation can be extremely important when the body is producing scar tissue and can make all the difference in how functional the result will be. Physical rehab is also used for helping many chronic musculoskeletal conditions by improving strength, flexibility, and balance in the ligaments, muscles, and supportive structures.

Active versus Passive Therapy: What is the Difference?

There are two types of physical rehabilitation for musculoskeletal injuries and conditions – active and passive. Both are effective depending on how and when they are used.

Active physical rehabilitation is a program that may include stretches, exercises, and functional tasks. The goal is to help rehabilitate, strengthen, and restore balance after an injury. Active physical rehabilitation is also helpful to manage chronic conditions and diseases, or when recovering from surgeries. Passive physical rehabilitation consists of modalities or therapies and does not require active movement or participation by the patient. Examples of passive therapy would include electrical stimulation, ultrasound, etc.
When used at the right time (most effective in the early stage of acute cases), these modalities can be helpful for management of pain. Rarely do these modalities make a lasting difference, which is why they are typically used in the initial stages of care.

For the best results, active physical rehabilitation does more for the body and should be prioritized whenever possible.

The Most Effective Physical Rehabilitation

While Physical Rehabilitation is natural and non-invasive, its effectiveness is highly dependent on how and when it is performed, as well as an accurate diagnosis. Many patients complain physical rehabilitation either did not help or did not provide lasting results. In many cases, this is because the patient was misdiagnosed, and therapy was not the best solution for their condition. As an example, if we have a patient suffering with a herniated disc, often the patient needs chiropractic care in conjunction with physical rehabilitation to obtain the best results. In this case, if physical rehabilitation is used alone, many patients will not obtain the best outcome.
    
Many physical rehabilitation programs are based in traditional medicine’s ‘non-wholistic’ approach that separates the body into sections/organ systems for treatment and diagnosis. Another common concern is that many active physical rehabilitation programs only focus on the body part of complaint versus all the secondary compensations that often complicate those conditions. This approach tends to produce less functional results because addressing those compensations is essential to obtain optimal results.
