Phase 2: Corrective Care

Most physical therapists regard the elimination of symptoms as the easiest part of a persons care. If all that the physical therapists does is to reduce the pain and stop there, the chances of the condition recurring are much greater. In order to prevent a rapid recurrence of symptoms, it is necessary to continue receiving care even though your symptoms are gone.   The doctors and therapists at AMP PT will recommend what years of experience have taught us, but the choice is made together with you as a teammate.  Teamwork always produces the best results and we at AMP PT will work with you to reach your individual health care goals and desires.

During the correction / restorative or corrective phase of your care, you will not have to receive adjustments as often as you did during the first phase of care and, depending on your particular circumstances, you may begin doing exercises and stretches either at the center or at home to help accelerate your healing.

Do not be discouraged if you have mild flare-ups in your symptoms on occasion. This is normal. Flare-ups are bound to occur during this phase because your body has not returned to a healthy state. Depending on the severity of your injury or condition and how long you have been suffering from it, this phase of your care may last anywhere from a few months to a couple of years.
