Physical therapy (PT) is one of the most effective ways to reduce pain, recover from injuries, and regain strength without relying on medication or surgery. Whether you’re dealing with back pain, a workplace injury, or recovering from surgery, physical therapy provides a safe, personalized, and science-backed approach to healing.
At Maximum Rehabilitation Services, we help patients understand what to expect and how PT can support a faster, safer recovery. Here’s everything you need to know before beginning your physical therapy journey.
What Is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy is a healthcare specialty focused on restoring movement, reducing pain, improving mobility, and enhancing overall physical function. Therapists use hands-on techniques, guided exercises, and customized treatment plans to help patients return to daily activities with comfort and confidence.
What Conditions Does Physical Therapy Help?
Physical therapy treats a wide range of conditions, including:
-
Back and neck pain
-
Shoulder, knee, and ankle injuries
-
Workplace injuries
-
Sports injuries
-
Arthritis and joint pain
-
Balance and mobility issues
-
Post-surgical recovery

Chronic pain conditions
If your pain affects how you move or live, PT can help.
What Happens During a PT Session?
Your first visit typically includes:
1. A Detailed Evaluation: Your therapist will assess your pain, mobility, posture, strength, and medical history.
2. Personalized Treatment Plan: You’ll receive a customized plan based on your goals—whether it’s pain relief, returning to work, or improving mobility.
3. Hands-On Treatment & Exercises: Sessions may include manual therapy, stretching, strengthening exercises, and modalities like heat, cold, or electrical stimulation.
4. Education & Home Exercises: Your therapist will teach you safe ways to move, prevent injury, and continue your progress at home.

Do I Need a Doctor’s Referral?
In many cases, you can begin physical therapy without a referral, depending on your insurance. Maximum Rehabilitation Services can also coordinate with your doctor if needed.
