What is the best treatment for sciatica?
I would ask your local physical therapist :) its difficult to say what is best when I don't know your existing impairments. Start with what's called a sciatic floss (looks like an active hamstring stretch when you google it) and just do x10 per day. Work with a local PT for tailored strength exercises! READ MORE
Is an exercise bike good after knee replacement?
Yes, your physical therapist will give advise you when you are ready to go through full revolutions. For now, use the bike as a tool to go through half revolutions and assist your knee bending. READ MORE
What kind of physical therapy comes after knee surgery?
Outpatient physical therapy 1-2x week for 6-12 weeks depending on how you are doing - happy recovery! READ MORE
Should I have physical therapy after COVID?
Absolutely, PT can help you gain your strength. Working with a PT who has training in cardiopulmonary will be supportive. Hang in there, one day at a time! READ MORE
Does physical therapy help headaches?
It can, depending on the type of headache. Many headaches are related to tension in the muscles of the neck and skull and a PT can certainly address this. Additionally, ask if your PT treats TMJ and incorporate this into treatment if this is an issue for you. READ MORE
