What Is Professional Physical Therapy?
At UMG Physical Therapy in Columbia, MD, we understand the role professional physical therapy plays in helping patients recover from a wide range of issues. Our team offers advanced physical therapy treatment plans designed to improve the ability to function and enhance quality of life. Whether you're recovering from surgery, such as a knee or hip replacement, or dealing with chronic pain, this is a valuable treatment option. We are dedicated to helping patients regain their mobility and return to active lifestyles without relying on invasive procedures.
What Should I Expect with Physical Therapy?
Our physical therapy treatment approach combines various physical therapy exercises, manual therapy techniques, and stretching routines to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Each patient's program is designed based on the specific conditions they face, ensuring the therapy addresses their unique challenges. Through personalized care, patients are guided through exercises and educated on proper body mechanics, which helps them manage pain and reduce the risk of future injuries. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain or recovering from surgery, our skilled physical therapists focus on restoring your body's natural function to help you recover.
It's best to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for easy movement to your appointment, such as athletic wear or stretchy pants and a T-shirt. Make sure to wear supportive shoes, like sneakers, as you'll likely be doing exercises that require stability and balance.
What Are the Benefits of Physical Therapy Exercises?
Incorporating advanced physical therapy into your recovery plan provides several benefits, particularly for patients recovering from surgeries, managing chronic conditions, or healing from injuries. At UMG Physical Therapy, we treat patients with care, aiming to improve their ability to perform daily activities. The following are key benefits of our exercises:
- Pain management: Helps reduce discomfort and manage chronic pain, often eliminating the need for more invasive treatments.
- Improved range of motion: Regularly practicing exercises that focus on flexibility can help patients regain movement in joints and muscles affected by injury or surgery.
- Increased strength and endurance: Our therapy plans build strength, helping patients recover and return to their regular routines and active lifestyles.
- Injury prevention: Focusing on proper body mechanics and balanced muscle strengthening reduces the chance of future injuries.
- Enhanced quality of life: By improving mobility and strength, patients can regain independence and perform everyday tasks more comfortably.
UMG Physical Therapy Reviews
Excellent! - My mom arms has been in pain for some time. Kevin was able to diagnose the problem and help with a treatment plan. Kevin has great bedside manners and is great at what he does! Would really recommend!!
Forever Grateful for Dr. Ung - My mother suffered a brain hemorrhage and all feelings and control of her left side were gone. She underwent a successful craniotomy and we were told the road to recovery would be tough. It was disheartening as my mother needed full help to even shift in her bed, to be held while sitting so she wouldn’t topple over, and she needed two people to lift her to use the bedside commode. Literally, she couldn’t lift a finger (her left side) and due to neurological issues caused by the hemorrhage, this affected her right side as well.In less than two months of working with my mother, Dr. Ung and other PT & OT helped my mother to become semi-independent. She was able to use a walker, walking short distances safely, and to take care of her basic needs, like using the toilet with little assistance. Dr. Ung was patient and compassionate and explained everything as he went along. It was truly amazing to see him work with my mother and the transformation was like magic! Thank you so much, Dr. Ung!
Highly recommend - I’m so grateful for Dr. Ung for helping my mom with her chronic knee pain. Despite the language barrier, he found a way to communicate clearly and make sure my mom understood what to do. He was patient with her and really made her feel comfortable. My mom’s pain has improved and she’s moving around much better now!
Awesome and will come back! - Dr. Ung treated me for my lower back pain and sciatica multiple times! I left with with way less pain and was able to walk and play sports again. Thank You
