The state of Illinois enacted a key policy that has the potential to enhance the quality of life for every resident of Chicago. As of 2018  anyone can come consult a Physical Therapist without the need for a prescription from a doctor.  

What is physical therapy and what are its benefits?

If you are experiencing pain, physical therapy may be a good treatment option for you. Physical therapy is a type of rehabilitation that aims to improve mobility and function while reducing pain. It can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, both chronic and acute. Physical therapy involves targeted exercises, manual therapies, or treatments using heat or cold. Studies have shown that physical therapy can be an effective treatment for many common conditions, including back pain, arthritis, and fibromyalgia. Physical therapy can also help people recover from injuries and surgery and can even help some to avoid having to undergo surgery at all. 

What are the benefits of direct access to physical therapy?

Ailments are always associated with the consumption of medicine. While medicine and antibiotics are quick remedies for pain and diseases, in the long run, the consumption of medicine is often harmful due to its side effects. Physical Therapy aims to reduce pain through planned and curated techniques involving exercise and treatments. The advantages of physical therapy for pain treatment far outweigh the traditional methods of consuming pain-killing tablets. 

Most people think of physical therapy as a treatment that is only used after an injury. However, physical therapy can also be used to help prevent injuries from happening. Direct access to physical therapy means that you do not need a doctor’s referral to see a physical therapist. This is a great option if you are looking for ways to improve your health and prevent injuries.
