Does physical therapy hurt?
Physical therapy is meant to relieve pain, not to hurt! However, as you restore your mobility, pain levels can fluctuate at times. You may experience some temporary soreness after appointments, but this is a normal response to using muscles that are weakened or in recovery. If you communicate well with your therapist, they will be sure to adjust the treatment to fit your tolerance. We want you on your way to quick pain relief so you can get back to normal activities!
