Physical therapy is incredibly helpful in helping the body heal from damage to the musculoskeletal system. Some of the most common musculoskeletal injuries we provide physical therapy for at Prima CARE include:
Yes. Even though surgery is performed in order to heal your body, the fact remains that surgery is a type of trauma from which your body must heal. Physical therapy after surgery can help you minimize the amount of scar tissue that develops after your procedure, support your joint function and mobility, and prevent your body from losing muscle mass as a result of atrophy. Physical therapy can help you recover more quickly and more effectively from your surgery.
At Prima CARE, we’re proud to accept insurance from a number of providers across the New England region, including for physical therapy services. If you have questions about your coverage or payment options, please feel free to reach out to our office staff.
