If one thing is clear regarding physical therapy, it's this: no one knows wtf we do!
When someone asks me what PT can help with, I always give this answer: I can help you overcome anything physical that's keeping you from living your damn life. I know: SUPER broad!
That's because PT is a very broad discipline. We don't just help people who've had surgery or who are older. We literally help all ages, all injuries, basically all gripes with what's physically going on. These problems can range from overcoming vertigo or dizziness, balance issues, joint pain, back and neck pain, pelvic floor issues, cardio and lung ailments, general fitness...the list goes on.
For the sake of not only brevity but also expertise, the bulk of this episode entails orthopedic and women's pelvic floor issues since those are the areas with which I am most familiar.
If this episode hit home with you and you are thinking about hiring a physical therapist, don't miss the follow up episode where you can learn what to look for in a PT (and it's not just someone who takes your insurance).
