PHYSICAL THERAPY

Physical therapists (PTs) diagnose and treat actual impairments from a bio-mechanical perspective. They work with patients recovering from injuries and specifically work on a patient’s gross motor functions.

Physical therapy tries to address and allow the patient to overcome the impairment by:

  • Increasing mobility
  • Aligning bones and joints
  • Lessening pain.

PTs focus on evaluating the patient’s injured tissues and structures, and develop a treatment plan that may include massage therapy, targeted exercises, stretches, strength conditioning, or acupuncture to treat those injuries. A PT’s primary goal is to get their patients back in motion.

Physical therapy is provided by qualified physical therapists, or by physical therapist assistants (PTAs) working under the supervision of a physical therapist. These physical therapy professionals are trained in body mechanics and in how various body systems are affected by motion, positioning, and exercise. To ease or increase body movement, they focus on improving strength, balance, and range of motion, often targeting the spine and lower body extremities.

In carrying out the treatment plan, PTs can help patients avoid surgery or provide enough relief to get people off of pain medications. Also, they can help patients to the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing programs within the plan that are oriented towards fitness and wellness.  Physical therapists are often involved in providing post-acute care therapy.

LiBa Back and Neck Massager for Trigger Point Fibromyalgia Pain Relief and Self Massage Hook Cane Therapy

$17.99
  • INTUITIVE ERGONOMIC DESIGN - The Selfie Massager’s beautifully sculptured line and curves is the perfect marriage of form and function. Unlike other massage therapy tools which tend to be either basic and toy-like or over-sized with too many knobs and handles, the Selfie Massager was designed to be the ultimate massage tool since each therapy node and spike can be used on every part of the body from the neck to the feet. Only your imagination is standing in the way of this tool’s versatility.
  • ALLEVIATE MUSCLE KNOTS OR TRIGGER POINTS - The Selfie Massager is the ideal muscle massage tool for bringing relief to a patch of muscles in spasm (knots) or trigger points. By applying pressure to the affected muscle patch, blood circulation is stimulated bringing in more oxygen and nutrients for faster muscle relief and recovery. There are a myriad of trigger points throughout the body located in the neck, shoulders, back, torso, thigh/hips, legs and feet.
  • IDEAL SIZE , DIMENSION AND WEIGHT -The Selfie Massager weighs less than a pound. When used on a consistent basis, anything over a pound can easily fatigue the arms and hands diminishing the accuracy and pressure applied to the affected muscle group impeding recovery and healing. Also, the awkward handle shape and positioning on many popular massagers can make it difficult to operate for those with limited range in mobility. Our design addresses those issues.
  • BPA, PBDE, TBBPA FREE & ECO FRIENDLY - The Selfie Massager is made with eco-friendly components that are BPA, PBDE, TBBPA free so it is safe to use in the water or shower. The environmentally sound plastic is also hypoallergenic so there is little risk of an allergic reaction during prolonged contact with the skin.
