A small painful irritation can turn into long-term chronic pain if left unaddressed. Chronic pain is the condition when a part of your body constantly hurts over a long duration of time. Chronic pains are classified as pains lasting up to six months. Understandably, that pain is very difficult to deal with from day to day and it can restrict you from doing normal daily activities due to lack of mobilization. If you want to eliminate your pain, you should visit your local Long Island physical therapist to see how various body therapy treatments and exercises can help you feel your best.

Physical therapists create their own exercise routine in order to benefit their patient and the area of the patient’s chronic pain. While creating these exercises, physical therapists focus on a few areas to manage or completely eliminate the chronic pain. Pain relief exercises focus on the painful regions of the body in order to make you stronger and more flexible. Physical therapists use strengthening exercises such as machines or resistance bands to strengthen muscles surrounding the pain. Stretching is used to release tension and stiffness in the area. Physical therapists also use low-impact aerobic training to increase your heart rate but also to make your joints stronger.

Physical therapists often use manual therapy techniques strategically around the painful area of their patients. The massages performed by physical therapists are focused on eliminating painful areas to benefit you in the long-term.
