Doing good patient education is something we take pride in here at Your Neighbor Physical Therapy. Understanding the cause of a patient's injury allows us to address the underlying issues, helping to prevent future occurrences. For instance, we often work with runners, educating them on adjusting their running mechanics or footwear to prevent recurring injuries. Similarly, for patients with physically demanding jobs, we emphasize correct lifting techniques to avoid further low back injuries. Many individuals with neck pain work desk jobs, so we also review ergonomics to promote optimal posture and reduce strain on joints and muscles.

Patient education is crucial in physical therapy and rehabilitation because the knowledge gained can be applied for a lifetime, potentially preventing the need for further therapy. If you value this approach, please contact us. We'd love to help you.
