Injuries – we wish we lived in a world free of them, but that’s just not the case. In reality, injuries happen every single day, and they often come without a warning. Some are more minor than others, but they always find a way to test us – whether it be our patience, our ability to bounce back, or our overall faith. 

The pain – unbearable. Our mobility – limited. Our mental health – deteriorating. Our day-to-day routine – ruined. Our ability to bounce back – better than ever! Injuries affect the mind, body, and soul in various ways, but that doesn’t mean we should let them weigh us down any more than they already have. 

That’s where PhysioRX is doing the heavy lifting. 

With a proven and personalized physical therapy plan formulated by PhysioRX, you can finally turn those aches into gains and that pain into power. Our licensed experts take a comprehensive approach to not only address the obvious, but understand the underlying and root causes of what you’re experiencing. 

At PhysioRX, we understand that everyone’s body is unique in its own way. While they function in similar ways, no two recovery plans are created equal, and what works with one person might not work for others. That’s why we take the time to get to know each individual client to help them reach their goals.

The Future of PT: How PhysioRX Is Changing the Game

There are three primary goals behind every physical therapy program – alleviate pain, improve mobility, and strengthen weakened muscles. This is achieved through a variety of assessments, examinations, exercises, drills, and other techniques designed to improve the way your body looks, feels, and moves. 

At PhysioRX, we believe in leveraging the power of both in-person and virtual physical therapy sessions. Our hybrid approach allows us to spend quality time with each client, but not so much that they grow reliant or dependent on our coaching – we’re all about building positive, healthy, and long-term habits. 

In-person physical therapy. When we meet our clients in person, we get a better idea of who they are, what their goals are, and what their problem areas are. This helps your physical therapist create and maintain a customized treatment plan that grows and evolves with you – it’s a plan made just for you!

Virtual physical therapy. Using our state-of-the-art app, clients are given 24/7 access to their physical therapist. If you can’t make it to one of our in-person locations, we can hold virtual sessions through our app – it’s equipped with demonstration videos, built-in progress tracking, and even nutrition coaching. 

The hybrid approach. Our preferred way to work with clients, the hybrid approach involves meeting both in-person and virtually. This gives us time to evaluate you in a formal setting, while monitoring your progress from a distance – allowing you to form the habits needed to prevent injuries in the future. 

Between in-person sessions at our two locations in New York City (Brooklyn and Manhattan) and virtual sessions on the PhysioRX app, we’re quite literally with you every step of the way – now that’s what we call wall-to-wall coverage. If you want to recover and prevent further injury the right way, trust PhysioRX.

No Pain, All Gain: Benefits of Weight Lifting for Physical Therapy

While most physical therapists focus primarily on passive treatments – such as massages, heating pads, cupping, and EMS machines – PhysioRX takes a different approach. Instead, we like to harness the power of exercise to help relieve clients of pain and teach them ways to take better control of their health.

Here are some of the most prominent benefits of weightlifting and other forms of exercise for physical therapy:  

  • Alleviate and eliminate pain
  • Improve mobility and flexibility
  • Strengthens muscles that were once weak
  • Reduces the risk of further or future injury
  • Enhanced mood and overall sense of well-being
  • Increased energy levels and motivation
  • Look and feel better than you have in years!

One of the keys to recovering from injury is moving around and getting active, but doing so in a controlled and targeted manner. While our coaches are trained and licensed in physical therapy, they’re also proficient in personal training, nutrition, and other aspects of living a happy, healthy, and rewarding life. 

Ready, Set, Rehab: Getting You Back On Your Feet – Where You Belong!

Are you recovering from an injury or surgery? Are you ready to strengthen those muscles that grew weak during recovery? Do you want to put yourself in a position to minimize the risk of further or future injury?
