By Pam Cooper<\/p>\n

I chose the field of Physical Therapy the summer before my senior year of high school. I knew I wanted to work in health care, so I volunteered at a local hospital and \u2018floated\u2019 through the different departments. When I observed the therapists working in their gym, I knew I had found my vocation. My grandmother had suffered a stroke; knowing that there was something I could do to directly impact someone\u2019s functional mobility really hit home.<\/p>\n

Whether you are younger or older, physical therapists can help improve mobility for people with injuries or illnesses. They are an important part of the rehabilitation process, especially for patients with chronic conditions. Physical therapy can make you stronger and help you move and feel better.<\/p>\n

During National Physical Therapy Month, we want to tell you why physical therapy is so important.<\/p>\n

Getting to the Source of Pain<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Physical therapists not only treat pain, but they get to its source. By getting to the source, they can provide the appropriate treatments and exercises to ease the pain and help their patients move better. When the physical ailment is gone, or at least less severe, a patient\u2019s emotional state improves as well. Since there is a relationship between physical and mental health, getting to the source of the issue is important.<\/p>\n

Physical Therapy Treatments<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Depending on the patient and the symptoms, a physical therapist may have them perform exercises such as:<\/p>\n

\n
• Low-impact aerobic training \u2013 such as walking or riding a stationary bike<\/li>\n
• Strengthening exercises \u2013 with machines, weights, bands or body weight<\/li>\n
• Stretching \u2013 gentle stretches in and around the pain or injured areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  There are also treatments such as:<\/p>\n

  \n
  • Ice and heat packs \u2013 reducing inflammation and warming muscles so they move better<\/li>\n
  • Massage \u2013 to help injured or sore areas<\/li>\n
  • Electrical nerve stimulation or ultrasound \u2013 these block the pain messages that go to your brain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Physical Therapy at Naperville Senior Center!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    With over 25 years of experience as a physical therapist, I bring a unique outlook to our Senior Center. I have developed a seated exercise program which is led daily by either our activity director or one of our CNAs. We also offer the use of a NuStep recumbent bike, an arm bike, a walking track (which is 100\u2019 in circumference) and a hi\/low mat table for individual exercise programs (as well as home exercise programs which members bring in). We encourage all of our members to walk the track throughout the day, providing them with the appropriate level of assistance required, between social activities to promote mobility and endurance. There is no extra charge for any of these services.<\/p>\n

    We also provide our members with a host of activities to provide mental and physical stimulation such as interactive word search (both individual & group), adult coloring, singing, dancing, shuffle board bowling, basketball, Wii programs, use of computers, parachute games, musical instruments (piano, drums & lots of percussion!), cards, Bunco, Bingo and other fun activities.<\/p>\n
