What is Physical Rehabilitation?
In the aftermath of a car accident, a NYC pedestrian incident, or some other serious event, it’s not uncommon to experience a wide range of symptoms. Fear, overwhelm, and anger might be some of the first things you notice. Following that, though, you may begin to wonder how you will handle the physical repercussions. You might be dealing with a fracture, broken bones, spinal issues, or simply find it challenging to get around like you used to.
It’s circumstances like this where physical rehabilitation can be incredibly valuable.
Physical rehabilitation can help patients regain mobility, function, and a better quality of life after an injury, surgery, or an episode of certain diseases. It involves specialized treatment regimens, including gentle body manipulations, stretching techniques, occupational therapy, and more.
