一對一改善患者生活品質making life better for one patient at a time

從沙發上起身，然後──哎喲！

你的背痛得讓你無法呼吸。

這時你會伸手去拿止痛藥嗎？

別這麼做！

還是找個物理治療師吧！

無論是新傷還是慢性疼痛，物理治療師幾乎能處理任何跌打損傷，繼而為患者帶來更好的生活品質。

這些理療師協助處理患者背部、頸部的傷勢；也幫助他們從骨折、外科手術以及神經系統相關失調情況或職業暨運動相關傷害中復原痊癒。

除此之外，理療師還能教導大眾如何維持健康體態，以便避免造成進一步的傷害。

物理療師的徒手療程包括肌力強化或伸展運動，還有冰敷或熱敷等。

You get up from the sofa and- ow! Back pain takes your breath away. Do you

reach for the pain pills? No! Call a physical therapist instead! More and more, physical therapy, or PT, is a common go-to for treating aches and

pains. A physical therapist can treat almost any injury, new or chronic, to

give a patient a better quality of life.

 When it comes to treatment, one size does not fit all. A physical therapist personalizes a treatment plan based on their observations and the patient's

concerns.

 The goal is to help injured or ill people improve movement and manage pain, so they can live life to the fullest. These therapists work with patients who suffer from back or neck injuries. They help people recover from broken bones and

surgeries as well as neurological disorders or work- or sports-related injuries.

 Physical therapists also teach people how to stay in shape and prevent further

injuries. Their hands-on therapy includes strengthening or stretching exercises, ice or heat and more.
