Strength and Conditioning Certification May Help Physical Therapy Outcomes
Have you been dealing with a stiff and achy knee? Do you notice your muscles seem sore all the time? You may benefit from strengthening. At Beyond Physical Therapy, our physical therapists are up to date on the most advanced strategies for rehabilitation. We will help you resolve your issues to do what you love, pain-free!
If you are looking for a proven strategy for managing most physical ailments, including pain and injury, the most critical step you can take is strength training. Over the last several years, the evidence behind the benefits of strength training has grown and been confirmed over and over again.
Strength training can also improve your ability and tolerance to everyday activities. One of the most important effects of strength training is to protect you from pain and injury and help enhance your quality of life.
At Beyond Physical Therapy in Franklin and Spring Hill, TN, our physical therapists go above and beyond traditional physical therapy strategies to help our clients. Our therapists have continued to educate themselves by becoming a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) to help our clients achieve the best results possible!
What is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist?
Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists (CSCS) are traditionally professionals who study and apply science-based training programs to help athletes enhance athletic performance. Physical therapists are experts in working with people of all ages and abilities.
Every therapist has extensive training in the entire spectrum of care, from prevention to rehabilitation to maximizing physical performance. Physical therapists often complete their CSCS certification to enhance their education and maximize their results.
The unique combination of CSCS certification and a PT degree positions our therapist to apply the science-backed principles of strength training to people of all physical capabilities.
For example, more and more evidence has shown strength training helps reduce the risk of falling, and if someone falls, it also helps reduce the risk of serious injury. Physical therapy aims to help people recover from pain and injury and restore function to the maximum capability. A CSCS certification is an effective tool to ensure these results are achieved.
Effective strength training programs help people from all walks of life, including children, weekend warriors, seniors, and people with disabilities. At Beyond Physical Therapy, our physical therapists, with their CSCS certification, will create the most effective strength training programs to maximize your outcomes and prevent future problems!
What to expect from your physical therapy sessions
Our physical therapists help in a variety of ways. We will start with an injury evaluation and a comprehensive assessment to identify all the factors that may be contributing to your pain and/or injuries. This will consist of a thorough history to understand your overall health status.
We will use this information to develop a comprehensive program that includes targeted manual techniques, mobility work, and a personalized strengthening routine. Our physical therapists with CSCS certification will determine the severity of any injury and identify any other weaknesses or limitations that may affect your recovery, stability, and strength.
Your physical therapist will then incorporate sport-specific treatments with a “return to sport” progression to assist you in a safe return to training and competition. Every good therapy program will include injury prevention strategies that ensure you stay doing what you love!
Strength and conditioning treatment sessions will be designed and implemented to address the individual’s current fitness and fatigue levels to avoid excessive exertion and potential regression or injury.
Our therapists will consider your current fitness and fatigue levels and the acute or chronic nature of your injuries to identify the appropriate program. Our team can ensure you achieve maximum results with your sports training, strength, and conditioning, nutrition, hydration, and sleep to ensure optimal results.
At Beyond Physical Therapy, our therapists believe acquiring strength and conditioning certifications is an effective way to hone our craft and simultaneously improve your results!
