For the most part, people only associate physical therapy with injury treatment and pain relief. Despite this widely-held misconception, physical therapy combines more than just stretching and strengthening muscles. Physical therapists are knowledgeable and well-trained to discover problems within one’s body that may lead to more serious issues. For example, physical therapists recommend people with diabetes create an appointment and begin attending exercise meetings to maintain their best possible health. If you live in or around Massapequa and have been diagnosed with diabetes, Park Physical Therapy can help you start a journey to better physical health.
