Physical therapists are movement experts who improve quality of life through prescribed exercise, hands-on care, and patient education.  Physical therapists examine each patient and then develops a custom treatment plan to improve their ability to move, reduce or manage pain, restore function, and prevent disability.

Back pain is the most common type of chronic disorder in America, and there’s a good chance that you’re not alone. Long-term neck strain or posture problems can lead to irritated nerves which results in back pain. This is why we recommend physical therapy for both acute and chronic back or neck pains so long as the acute pain does not require immediate medical intervention

Your physical therapist (PT) will perform a detailed examination to gather information about your symptoms and condition. Depending on this, they might evaluate your strength, flexibility, balance, coordination in addition to blood pressure and heart rate rates.

When it comes to physical therapy, the clothes you wear can make a big difference. For instance, for your PT (physical therapist) to get an accurate diagnosis on how long and complicated your recovery process will be, they need access without restrictions from clothing that could hinder their examination of the injured area(s).

This is why most therapists recommend wearing comfortable clothing- this way there are no distractions during treatment by things such as zippers or buttons rubbing against sensitive skin surfaces etc., which would not only hurt but also impede progress.
