Del Valle Physical Therapy & Hand Therapy’s Accident and Pain Rehab Program
Customized treatment is the first way that physical therapy differs from traditional medical treatment. When you come in for your first appointment, a skilled physical therapist asks several questions about your lifestyle. We also like to know about your daily routine to get you back to the things you love as quickly as possible. Your physical therapist will also observe you as you attempt various exercises to understand your current struggles.

Customized exercises and lifestyle modifications
Once your physical therapist understands your accident better and the difficulties it causes you, the next step is to begin a series of targeted exercises. You will complete the exercises at Del Valle and at home to ensure consistent results. Your physical therapist may also recommend some lifestyle changes, such as reducing alcohol intake or starting certain vitamins or supplements. Remember that a healthy diet will also help you progress faster.
