FAQs
Can I continue seeing a therapist even when I feel better?
The short answer is–Absolutely! In fact, at Strive Fitness and Therapy, we actually encourage you to continue seeing your physiotherapist even after your symptoms appear to have resolved.
Why? Because often, even though you feel better, you may still not be fully rehabilitated. Furthermore, regular physiotherapy can prevent future injury or pain while helping you optimize your overall physical performance and function.
Physiotherapy is a comprehensive and ongoing process, not a one-and-done. Even after you’ve completed your initial round of treatment, our therapists can help you develop a personalized maintenance plan that ensures you’re continuing to maximize your potential, even after your recovery.
Here’s an example of maintenance plans that allow you to continue enjoying physiotherapy’s many benefits:
- Your therapist assigns you a series of specialized at-home exercises so you can continue to strengthen your muscles and improve your range of motion.
- You come in for a re-evaluation after a month to ensure your home exercise program is working as intended.
- You schedule check-in appointments at regular intervals (such as every six months) to ensure you haven’t regressed and to address any new developments.
Our therapists will also develop a return-to-activity schedule so you can safely return to your favorite sport or workout program without risking reinjury. A return-to-activity schedule involves gradually increasing the intensity of certain movements until you can operate as usual.
The physiotherapists at Strive Fitness and Therapy are here to help you succeed–even after you’ve completed your treatment. To get started, request an appointment today!
Can I go to any Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Massage Therapy or Athletic Therapy clinic I want?
Absolutely! While physicians may recommend a specific clinic, you are not obligated to follow their suggestions. Your fundamental patient rights protect your ability to make informed decisions about your treatment and ensure you are treated with respect and confidentiality.
Choose Strive Fitness and Therapy for accessible, personalized care tailored to your unique needs. Start your journey towards improved health and sports performance today!
