Body Mechanics
Body Mechanics is the foundation of a good physical therapy program. The human body is at its strongest and most efficient when it moves in harmony. Physical movement of the body is a series of counter-balances between joints and muscles, a kind of pull and tug. For the large bones and muscles of your arms and legs to perform the most work with the least amount of strain, your trunk must be stabilized using your core muscles.
Your physical therapist will help you learn to stabilize your trunk using you core muscles and move your body in such a way to maximize your activity with the least amount of stress and strain to your body.
When the human body is moving as it should, is as strong as it was meant to be, can work as long as it should be able to and can do so while working in concert within itself there is no need for physical therapy. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. As life happens, we humans get sick, injured and deteriorate as time goes by.
We at Charter Physical Therapy are here for you when these life events happen as they invariably do.
When the mechanics of the body gets out of balance, your Physical Therapist uses all the tools of the therapist's craft to help you to get back to the functional level of life that you are accustomed to, whatever that may be.
