Physical Therapy Isn’t Just For Injuries

Training For Significant Athletic Endeavors

Training for an event such as a marathon or a triathlon takes a lot of time and effort. Even for seasoned athletes, this training will put quite a bit of strain on the body and increases the potential for injuries. Physical therapy, besides helping avoid the potential injuries, helps keep anyone training for a significant athletic endeavor in peak physical shape, including avoiding incredibly sore muscles. In essence, physical therapy helps boost the effectiveness of the training to ensure the athlete is the best they can be on race day.

Physical therapy should not just be an afterthought when a severe injury occurs. It can be used both as a preventative measure, as well as a way to boost performance.
