Injury Prevention/Work Place Injuries

Injury Prevention

At Victoria Physical Therapy you will work with a doctoral trained physical therapist that is highly trained and very good at spotting several potentially risky symptoms that may lead to disabling injuries. With a physical therapy evaluation, we can detect the following issues:

• Low Back Pain: A routine physical therapy exam can detect whether you are at risk for suffering an injury and developing low back pain.
• Total Joint Replacement: A routine physical therapy exam can identify the early risk factors for developing joint arthritis, the primary cause for joint replacement.
• Hypertension: Cardiovascular screening can detect risk factors for hypertension, which allows your physical therapist (PT) to prescribe a safe exercise plan to help minimize your risk.
• Headaches: A routine physical therapy exam can identify risk factors that can lead to debilitating headaches.
• Rotator Cuff Tear: A routine physical therapy exam can determine your risk for developing shoulder pain leading to a tear in the rotator cuff.
• Injury from A Fall: A routine physical therapy exam can detect your risk for falling, and even prevent you from suffering a life-threatening injury.
• ACL Injury: A routine physical therapy exam can detect your risk of suffering a devastating knee injury.
