subject: So Your Doctor Sent You to Physical Therapy [print this page] It is important to realize that there are no really quick fixes and your body takes time to heal. Whether you have had a rotator cuff repair, ACL repair or just have a muscle strain or a joint sprain, each person takes a different amount of time to heal all of the damaged structures. In Spokane physical therapists will spend time trying to determine not just what is hurting but why it is hurting and what you can do to prevent it from happening again. Often times the cause of the pain must be fixed before the pain will go away. Sometimes this takes some time, so if you don't immediately start feeling better, be patient. Some people's injuries take a little time to start feeling better so hang in there, and be sure to talk to your therapist about what is going on and how you're feeling. Do your best to follow his or her instructions and your physical therapy experience is bound to be a good one.
