Why Finish Physical Therapy

 I thought it was time to do a blog post about the importance of finishing physical therapy as it's one of the most common cost prohibitive activities to people getting back to regular function after an injury. I believe that there are several reasons that people do not finish physical therapy and first and foremost I believe it's the pain for profit ratio that comes from the injury recovery process. What do I mean by paying for profit ratio I'm talking about the amount of pain people believe they have to Indore to get back to the activities they would like to do. If you're willing to Indore two weeks of painful physical therapy to get 80% of where you want to be physically for some people that's perfect because it means they don't have to  worry about impacting the rest of their schedule in order to get back as much function as they had before not realizing that in many cases they'll get more functionality back if they would've kept going. For some people they need to do all of the physical therapy because they have the time and money to spend doing everything that's required of them and they read the maximum benefit. In reality there's also significant opportunity cost to losing time away from work and family obligations versus the actual cost of people having to pay co-pays or out-of-pocket expenses to help finish covering their physical therapy regimen. In the year 2020 many insurance companies chose not to fully ensure physical therapy this means that there is a dollar per year limit similar to that scene in chiropractic or psychotherapy. No longer do you and your doctor have control over the medically based need regimen that will get you fully recovered. So it this point you might be thinking to yourself is going to physical therapy and finishing it out really necessary if it's not gonna be properly paid for in most cases now? The answer is yes, here is why: physical therapy is a very detailed and personalized treatment method for injury recovery. So much so that people who train to be in that profession in the United States can expect to pay about $50,000 - $80,000 for and education that can take years with constant updates and the profession progresses. I also be asking yourself why it's so important now when 60 years ago it wasn't considered that important and the truth is it's always been there just in different forms and it's importance has become more public than it has ever been. A massage therapist is not a physical therapist just as a chiropractor it's not a massage therapist. You never want to go into a session asking a massage therapist to help deal with the compensations that come after an injury because they don't have the skill set or training to understand how compensations are formed in what sequence to release them. The best massage therapist can do is understand that they exist on your body because I can feel it and yes I can release it but that doesn't mean it's the right way to do it this can cause a relapse of an injury. But one trying to have seen this year is people attempting to get their massage therapist to become a physical therapist and there are many massage therapist they do not properly understand the difference this is a fault of the industry not of the therapist. This is one of the reasons for correct of exercise certification or commonly referred to as a PTA. A correct of exercise certification allows fitness and massage professionals to prescribe exercises for healthy people who are on injured which tends to be a quite a few of the people that come in for massage anyway they are otherwise healthy but they have compensation say I've developed for one reason or another that are not injury related.
