Improved posture: Good posture can help to reduce stress on the spine and improve overall health.

Prevention of further injury: Physiotherapy can help to strengthen the muscles and improve flexibility, which can help to prevent further injury.

Improved overall health: Physiotherapy can help to improve overall health by reducing stress, improving mood, and boosting energy levels.

Physiotherapy at Plainfield Spine and Rehab often includes a combination of therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and other treatments like ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and heat or cold therapy. We ensure that each component of your treatment plan is designed to optimize your recovery, manage your symptoms, and prevent future health complications.

Therapeutic exercises are central to physiotherapy. They are carefully selected and customized to target specific muscles or muscle groups, improving strength, flexibility, coordination, and overall function. We also incorporate exercises aimed at improving posture, balance, and core stability – all crucial components for maintaining spinal health and overall well-being.

Finally, patient education is a crucial part of our physiotherapy services.
