How critical is physical therapy for athletes?
My general advice would be to consider a "well" visit with a PT to check for asymmetries or imbalances that might be present. They could also advise regarding appropriate stretches and warm-ups. It is essential to warm up prior to any physical exercise. Stretching is not considered a warm-up and is actually more effective once the muscles are already warm. Best of luck with your running!!!!

Is physical therapy okay if I am overweight?
Yes. A Physical Therapist may be the best-suited professional to help you move WELL so that you can move OFTEN to aid in your weight loss. That said, you cannot exercise your way out of a bad diet, so PLEASE be sure that you pair improving and increasing movement with manageable shifts in your nutrition. While I am trained in nutrition, most PT's are not. You might be aided by a registered dietician or nutritionist. Some physicians are also trained to guide you in this arena. Best of luck in your pursuit of health! You are the ONLY person who can take care of YOU! READ MORE
Do I need physical therapy after a leg fracture?
It would be most helpful to know more about where your fracture was (which bone). That said, I always recommend PT after coming out of a cast due to potential loss of motion as well as strength. And, in the lower extremity, your gait (the way you walk) could also be affected. This would best be addressed by a PT. Since you report you are active, you will likely respond well! *beth* Dr. Beth Scott, PT, DPT Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner Bones For Life Teacher Professional Yoga Therapist Certified Nutrition Therapist Cornell Certificate Plant-Based Nutrition Dry Needling Certified Phone: 434-420-3263 CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: The contents of this email message and any attachments are intended solely for the addressee(s) and may contain confidential and/or privileged information and may be legally protected from disclosure.
