Does Physical Therapy Hurt?

• Physical therapy is not meant to bring pain, but to relieve pain! You might experience some temporary soreness from using muscles that are weakened or recovering. Rest assured that this is a normal response to physical therapy treatment and not a cause for concern.
• There is a chance, however, as you restore your mobility that your pain levels will fluctuate. Good communication with your therapist will help minimize any discomfort. Like you, we also want you on your way to full pain relief and back to normal activities as soon as possible.
