Saunas Brookfield, WI – Finnleo Sauna Dealer Gives Tips For Physical Therapy Month

BROOKFIELD, Wis. - Oct. 29, 2013 - PRLog -- Brookfield, WI 53005 - “During all stages of physical therapy, the therapist will manage their patient’s expectations. The most important reason for this is to make sure patients understand that physical therapy isn’t a race,” said Michael Wolf, owner of Wolf Pools and Spas.

“It takes times for the body to heal. However, there are ways to help increase the effectiveness of a treatment plan, and make sure that healing takes place as quickly as possible,” continued Wolf.

Here are the 3 best ways to intensify physical therapy treatment.

Listen and Ask - Take the time during an appointment, especially at the start of therapy to ask all of the questions needed to thoroughly understand what will happen and what is expected.

Patients who know what they need to do to help the therapist while in clinic sessions, and when doing the prescribed work at home will be as productive as possible and have a speedier recovery.

When the therapist is explaining new exercises, or a new stage of treatment, pay close attention. As treatment progresses, it can change and the needs of the program may require a different patient role. Shut off phones and other electronic devices while in treatment sessions, and forget about the demands of the outside world. When treatments are taking place, they should be the only thing the patient is focusing on.

Understand That Pain May Be a Part of the Treatment - Like any exercise program, the physical therapy treatment movements can cause muscles and bones to hurt. When doing clinic physical therapy sessions, patients are more likely to fight through the pain because the therapist is right there to encourage them through it. At home, however, it may be harder for the patients to convince themselves to push through the pain and get the work done.

Having someone there who is supportive, understanding and provides encouragement, and even be demanding when the patient feels like quitting, can help get them through the more difficult times. If there are any questions about the way muscles, joints or body parts hurt following a session of exercise, make sure to contact the physical therapist. They can examine the situation and determine if the pain is normal or the treatment needs to be adjusted.

Don’t ignore pain, but understand it when it is necessary. If the discomfort of physical therapy is too much to handle, speak with a qualified physician to see if medication can help overcome the pain.

Use Alternative Therapy Methods - Successful alternative healing devices such as saunas installed in the home can make dealing with the pain of physical therapy easier. The deep penetrating and fully regulated heat of a sauna also speeds healing by increasing blood flow to injured muscles and joints.

The heat of the sauna is also great for relieving daily stress and the stress of physical therapy. The sweat from a sauna session also rids the body of dangerous toxins that combat the healing process. Incorporating a sauna into the home is surprisingly easy. They can be installed in spare rooms, basements and even in outdoor areas. Saunas come in a variety of sizes to allow anyone to enjoy the health benefits while at the same time increasing home values.
