October is a time of brilliant fall days, Halloween, and – National Physical Therapy Month! Every October at Scerbo Physical Therapy & Sports Rehabilitation, we invite our patients to help us celebrate by reflecting on, and spreading the word about the proven benefits of physical therapy.
According to the Department of Health and Human Services Facts & Statistics on physical activity, more than 80% of American adults do not get enough physical activity despite the proven benefits, such as a reduced risk of chronic disease, improved bone health, cognitive function, weight control, and increased independence.
At Scerbo, our physical therapists are movement experts who specialize in hands-on care, patient education, and prescribed movement. We design evidence-based physical activity plans for people of all ages and abilities. If pain or other barriers are preventing you from enjoying the important health benefits of physical activity, our physical therapists will partner with you to create a safe and effective program to get you moving.
Physical therapy can make it possible to recover more quickly and completely from serious injury or major surgery, while at the same time reducing the need for pain medication and other drugs. Your physical therapist will also help you set realistic goals and avoid re-injury. Increased relaxation and pain relief help build a sense of wellness, which goes a long way to improving quality of life for athletes and non-athletes alike.
Athletes of all ages and abilities – recreational to pro – understand the essential role of supervised training to condition the body for peak performance, whether post-injury or to address general under-performance. At Scerbo Physical Therapy & Sports Rehabilitation, our highly trained physical therapists specialize in the treatment and prevention of orthopedic and sports-related injuries. We offer the most advanced, evidence-based performance services available today.
Attitude adjustment
Physical therapy gives us the opportunity to practice self-awareness about our daily physical habits, and even change a “no-can-do” mindset to “Yes, I can!” Your Scerbo physical therapist is trained to help you pay attention to your body’s biomechanics and help you take steps to improve chronic aches, feel stronger and prevent injuries.
We are proud of what we do to help you, our patients, in Physical Therapy Month and all through the year. Call 201-941-2240 or visit us at our state-of-the-art clinic located in Edgewater, NJ.
