Do You Need Physical Therapy? 7 Signs It’s Time to See a PT

Many people wait until their pain becomes unbearable before seeking help. But physical therapy is most effective when started early. Here are seven signs you might benefit from PT.

1. Chronic Pain That Doesn’t Go Away
If pain lingers for more than a few weeks, it’s a red flag.

2. Limited Range of Motion
Difficulty bending, stretching, or turning your neck means something is restricting your mobility.

3. Trouble with Balance
Frequent stumbles or dizziness may point to strength or vestibular issues that PT can address.

4. Pain After Surgery
Post-operative rehab is crucial for recovery and preventing long-term complications.

5. Recurring Injuries
Sprains, strains, and repetitive motion injuries need corrective treatment to stop the cycle.

6. Weakness or Numbness
These can signal nerve or muscular imbalances that therapy can improve.

7. Difficulty with Daily Tasks
Struggling to climb stairs, sit at your desk, or carry groceries shouldn’t be ignored.
