The team at Sheridan Memorial Hospital Wyoming Rehab is dedicated to helping individuals recover from injuries, surgeries, and mobility issues—but their work extends beyond rehabilitation, Sheridan Media reports.
Physical therapists Justin Bridger and Lindsay Kinney recently joined Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse to discuss the importance of physical therapy in both recovery and injury prevention.
While many people associate physical therapy with post-surgery recovery or rehabilitation after an accident, Wyoming Rehab also focuses on “pre-hab”—a proactive approach to preventing injuries and improving mobility before issues arise.
“Recovery from surgery or an accident is not a prerequisite for physical therapy,” Kinney explained.
Many individuals seek therapy to regain strength, flexibility, and mobility after years of inactivity. As muscles, joints, and bones change with age, Wyoming Rehab works closely with primary care physicians to help patients improve their overall physical health.
Every patient has unique needs, and the team at Wyoming Rehab tailors treatments to each individual. Pain, mobility issues, and rehabilitation goals differ from person to person, which is why Bridger, Kinney, and their colleagues continuously update their knowledge of the latest treatments and techniques to provide the best care possible.
Despite advancements in therapy, some of the most effective pain relief methods remain the classic ones—a combination of movement, strengthening exercises, and proper body mechanics.
