HOW TECHNOLOGY HAS STRENGTHENED PHYSICAL THERAPY
Recovery REIMAGINED
Today’s technology has transformed a broad variety of industries, but few sectors stand to gain as much as healthcare. It can be a matter of life or death in many cases, and modern innovations make all the difference. Though technology may be useful for urgent care, areas like physical therapy can benefit just as much.

Physical therapy (PT) may not be as pressing as other medical fields, but it’s still crucial. As Baby Boomers continue to age, the need for PT increases. PT does more than just serve aging populations, however.

Many Americans deal with chronic pain, and prescription drug use has grown exponentially to address it. These pharmaceuticals are comparatively ineffective and addictive, so medical professionals have turned to PT as an alternative. The need for effective physical therapy has never been higher, and technology is helping to manage demand.

IMPROVED ACCURACY OF DIAGNOSES

In any medical field, a treatment is only as effective as the diagnosis is accurate. If physical therapists don’t have a precise picture of the problem, they can’t address it. Modern technology gives them the tools they need to improve the accuracy of their diagnoses, informing better treatment plans.
