Start Your Journey Towards Pain Relief…
Our 4-Phase Physical & Occupational Therapy Framework at ProActive
Phase I: Pain Relief
Initially, your clinician addresses issues related to the main complaint. For example, many people seek a referral to PT/OT because of a complaint like “shoulder pain”. Treatment in this initial phase involves addressing the symptoms of pain, edema/swelling, tissue tension, etc. while preparing the body for the corrective or repairing stage of treatment.
Phase II: Retraining & Return to Normal Movement
As your affected body part or region begins to heal from acute or subacute symptoms and the injury or the flare-up begins to resolve, your clinician then turns the focus of treatment to retraining your body into normal movement patterns. In this phase, you learn exercises and techniques you need to enhance specific motions or movement patterns that activate the entire kinetic chain appropriately. This opens the door to functional training and functional movement activities.
Phase III: Functional Performance and Targeted Improvement (Strengthening)
After your pain is gone and normal movement becomes more normalized, the next step in the process involves reinforcing and strengthening those motor patterns and functional movements. Strengthening generally takes time. Repetitions, frequency of exercises, etc. all impact how quickly strengthening happens. In phase III, your clinician helps you strengthen the entire kinetic chain, and even the entire body, to facilitate normalized movement patterns.
Phase IV: Self-Management & Discharge with Independence
Consider this the “graduation” phase of your rehabilitation course of care here at ProActive Rehabilitation & Wellness. To reach this phase of a rehab program you have 1) overcome the pain and symptoms or limitations resulting from your main complaint or original injury 2) you’ve relearned appropriate motor patterns and reinforced them through functional activities & exercises and 3) you’ve increased strength in the entire kinetic chain of that movement or injured area. You have also demonstrated increased independence, compliance, and ability to progress your home program.
