Physical Therapy at Huntington Woods: Helping Your Loved Ones Stay Strong and Healthy

_{October 9, 2024}
October is recognized as Physical Therapy Month. Huntington Woods offers individualized physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy services to help improve and strengthen various systems and functions in the body. We are happy to celebrate our physical therapists and all of the hard work that they do to help keep your loved ones strong and healthy.

Physical therapy helps to improve how your body performs physical movements. It can be for a specific cause, such as an injury or health condition, but can also be a part of pain management. Physical therapy is also common after surgeries. The length of time can vary, including a few weeks or months to years of treatment. There are various treatments, including stretching, strength training with weights or exercise equipment, massages, heat or cold therapies, and more. Plans are specific to each individual and their needs. Physical therapy works with various systems within the body, including the musculoskeletal system, nervous system, and cardiopulmonary system.



Physical therapy works to strengthen muscles, bones, joints, heart, lungs, brain, and skin. There are some risks with therapy, although minimal. Re-aggravating an old or existing injury is possible. Speaking to your therapist is a way to ensure that you are doing all exercises correctly and safely.

Overall, physical therapy is an important tool to help promote and maintain strong and healthy function throughout the body. Visit a healthcare provider if you notice any new or worsening symptoms. Also, speak to your physical therapist if exercises seem too easy or hard. This way a new plan can be made that is better suited for you!
