Poor posture, weak muscles, and a traumatic accident are causes of many of the back injuries that we see at Cross Bay Physical Therapy. With a weak back and poor posture, an accident that damages muscle tissue in the back is more than likely. The back has to overcompensate for weak muscles if a person does not regularly exercise and this can lead to a strain.
Most people have no clue that Physical Therapy is one of the most important recovery activities you can do after an ankle sprain. An ankle sprain seems like a simple injury, where a person just waits it out and then after a few weeks, the person will be back to normal. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case.
Wrist pain may arise for a variety of reasons, some of which include wrist tendinitis, over-use, arthritis, or from a traumatic injury. In most cases, Physical Therapy provides a non-surgical and effective treatment method to significantly improve mobility and decrease pain.
Hip pain is often a result of muscle tightness and weakness. There may be tigthness or pain, whether it occurs in the hip or not, which causes the hip to overcompensate while walking. Sometimes, it is a hip injury that is causing pain and other times, it can simply be tight muscles, where the hip overcompensates for muscle weakness.
Knee pain is extremely common and most often occurs after a traumatic injury or a sudden increase in activity. Some people also randomly experience knee pain as they get older and this is often due to poor posture, weak muscles, or mis-alignment when walking. At Cross Bay Physical Therapy, our physical therapists figure out the cause of your knee pain and through a combination of strengthening, stretching, and hands-on physical therapy, treat your knee pain until it disappears.
