Many times, it is difficult, for a person to understand, let alone "feel," weaknesses. Because this is our bodies have an incredible ability to compensate for our deficiencies. We compensate by altering how we move, the which tends to bias the Stronger muscles. Strong muscles override the weak, and the weak muscles grow weaker through disuse Progressively.
People are Often Referred to physical therapy by Their doctor and wonder just what it is that? They will be doing.
Every course of physical therapy begins with a thorough examination. During the examination, the physical therapist reviews the person's medical history, current medications and ACKs them to describe the onset of symptoms and functional Their current impairments or Difficulties. A physical therapy examination is performed, goals and an individualized plan of care are established and then treatment is initiated.
Weakness speaks for Itself; weak muscles stay weak unless Typically They are targeted by a specific exercise pattern. An unused muscle group will weaken unless it is exercised or strengthened in some way.
A second cause of frustration with the exercise prescription is that? They are training to Overcome Long-standing, well-established movement patterns or compensatory habits. Over time, Sometimes gradually over many years, strong muscles have over-ridden the weak. The patient has established compensatory movements and inflexibilities That Prevent the correct muscles from doing Their intended function, and it hurts. Sometimes Referred to as compensatory / adaptive movements, as a "limp" of Sorts, compensatory movements can be driven by factors Including, but not limited to, pain avoidance, posture, habits, absence of muscle length and joint tightness (or looseness) to name a few.

A compensatory or painful movement pattern can be just as difficult, to move out of.
