How Physical Therapy, Acupuncture and Massage  Improve Recovery When Used Together

Physical therapy addresses pain and dysfunction of the body by developing better mechanics, mobility and strength.  In many cases, the cause of a person’s physical complaints is improper movement patterns and/or a lack of physical capabilities.  When physical therapy is combined with the precise and therapeutic effects of acupuncture and medical massage therapy, the results are optimal!
Physical therapy isable to help a patient develop a foundation of proper body function and strength while alleviating many symptoms; however, there may still be specific symptoms, which remain. Acupuncture and massage therapy are two of the most important aspects of any quality therapy program especially for orthopedic conditions, and post-surgical recovery. Acupuncture is excellent at relieving pain and restoring normal sensation in the body while massage therapy enables muscle and other soft tissue of the body to move more freely, without restriction. This greatly improves the outcomes from physical therapy.

The human body is a dynamic structure and the treatment of it should be just as dynamic. Approaching orthopedic conditions with the combination of acupuncture, physical therapy, and massage therapy is a highly effective and thorough path to recovery.
