Every day, countless adults in Roswell and beyond experience pain and discomfort, often accepting it as a normal part of life or the inevitable toll of aging.
Far too often are we making jokes about our signs of aging with friends and hiding the disappointment of not being able to enjoy our favorite activities for fear of leaving in pain.
What if there was a way to not just manage this seemingly never ending pain but to overcome it, reclaiming the joy of movement and activity?
This is where the expert knowledge of a Roswell Physical Therapist can step in and help. Let’s dive right into it.
Physical Therapy: A Universal Solution
Contrary to common perception, Physical Therapy isn’t just for those recovering from surgeries or athletes dealing with injuries. You don’t have to have a torn rotator cuff – although, we’d like to see you too – you can just be sick of tight hip flexors making your every day like a bit more uncomfortable.
Finding that aches and pains are keeping you from getting your best sleep? You’re the perfect candidate.
Roswell Physical Therapy embodies a comprehensive approach to wellness, catering to individuals from all walks of life. Whether you’re dealing with the aftermath of a minor injury, chronic pain, or simply seeking to improve your overall physical performance, Physical Therapy offers a path to enhanced well-being.
The Advantage of Cash-Based Physical Therapy
In the realm of healthcare, the patient-provider connection is paramount, a principle that Physical Therapists look to uphold with utmost commitment.
Unfortunately, the standard insurance based practices have far too many checks and balances from large insurance companies that don’t have your best interest in mind. They’re looking to get you ‘treated’ as quickly as possible.
The goal of this style of treatment is just to get you ‘fixed’ but not performing the way that you want to. Sure, you’ll be walking again, but the scripts just aren’t come in for athletes who want to lift overhead without pain.
Quality of Treatment
That’s why Roswell Physical Therapists are moving to cash based practices. This model ensures personalized, one-on-one care, free from the restrictions and the red tape often associated with insurance-based services.
Without these restraints, therapists are empowered to use their expert knowledge of the human body and decide on the most effective treatments and plans rather than needing specific codes to carry out treatment.
Let’s take the case of an avid weightlifter complaining of knee pain. Your Physical Therapist assesses you and decides that it’s actually your lack of ankle mobility that’s causing you to compensate for your form, thus putting unnecessary strain on the knee.
A cash based Physical Therapist basically gets the run of the mill to treat you and get you on your way, while a cash based Physical Therapy is poking at your knee and waiting on new code approval from the insurance company.
Oh and when we say ‘poke’, we don’t mean like dry needling – that’s also saved for us cash based folk. More of that later.
Individualized Attention
Most importantly, this new way of Physical Therapy allows therapists the time they need to spend with each patient individually, rather than running between patients.
In a more traditional setting, your therapist will likely be overbooked and only see you for about 15 minutes of your 60 minute appointment. Trust us, it’s something we’ve seen far too often.
Faster Recovery, More than Recovery
Individualized attention means faster recovery. Faster recovery means getting you back to the activities you love, and allowing time to improve past your pre-injury (if any) performance.
Long story short, it just makes more sense.
Roswell Physical Therapy Services
The Roswell community is an active one, and we’ve certainly seen an array of clientele. No matter what your goals, hobbies, or injuries, the right Physical Therapist can help. Here’s some services to look out for.
Dry Needling is a cutting-edge treatment effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal issues. This technique, involving the insertion of thin needles into trigger points, can release tension, alleviate pain, and improve muscle function—consider it a reset for your muscles, offering relief where other methods may fall short.
Your friends have been raving about it, and you won’t know whether you love it or hate it until you give it a shot. There’s no other way to manipulate the same muscle response. Trust us, it’s super cool.
Hands-On Care
Not all facets of old school Physical Therapy need to be totally thrown away, but constantly improved upon with ever changing technology and research.
Hands on, manual therapies are great for achieving the first step, which is often getting out of pain or getting all of the pieces where they belong, so to speak.
By directly engaging with the body’s problem areas through manual therapy, therapists can more accurately diagnose and treat conditions, leading to faster and more effective recovery.
Wellness and Prevention
Recognizing the importance of prevention, a good Physical Therapy practice should offer wellness visits aimed at preventing injuries before they occur. Whether you’re returning to exercise or starting a new sport, a preemptive assessment can save you from future pain and complications, ensuring your body is ready to tackle the challenges ahead.
You might think that lower back pain that hit when you turned 30 is never going away or you’ll just have to deal with your creaky knees and never-ending headaches, but we’re here to tell you that’s not true. You should live a pain free lifestyle, enjoying the activities that you love, and preparing for them with expert care.
Sport Specific Physical Therapy
Choosing a Physical Therapist that deeply understands your sport is imperative. They’ll know in great detail the common movement patterns and injuries associated with the sport and can set you up for success. Here at Mission Move, our Roswell Physical Therapists specialize in the following:
Running: Whether you’re looking to improve speed, run your first or your fastest marathon, or simply enjoy a leisurely run, our team is here to help.
We’re experts at treating those tight hamstrings and know how to write a comprehensive strength training program designed specially for our running friends.
Pickleball/ Golf/ Tennis: While different sports, athletes from Tennis, Pickleball, and golf have many similarities in terms of training and rehabilitation. Our therapists will help with all aspects of the game from providing proper warm ups to power drills.
Off-Season Athlete: If you or your young athlete are grappling with a persistent injury throughout the season, finding a solution can be challenging amidst the physical demands of their sport.
Often, there are specific adjustments that, if made, can significantly enhance your health and performance. The off-season presents the perfect opportunity for a comprehensive assessment to identify these critical “tweaks” that can aid in healing and prevent future issues.
Cycling: Cycling is a fantastic way to keep fit, explore the outdoors, and enjoy competitive sport. However, the repetitive nature of cycling and the demands it places on the body can lead to a variety of discomforts and injuries.
Targeted therapy and exercises can significantly improve flexibility, comfort and performance on the bike.
Our therapists tackle saddle and groin issues, pain and discomfort during and after riding, and numbness in the extremities. We do this through improving circulation, assessing bikes and equipment used, providing warm up techniques, and increasing mobility, strength, and power in key muscle groups.
Remember, every athlete is unique, and so should be their therapy plan. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a commuting cyclist, or a competitive athlete, incorporating Physical Therapy into your routine can help you play stronger, longer, and with greater joy.
Let’s work together to tailor a program that meets your specific needs, keeps you in the saddle, and out of the clinic.
