In fact, at Go Physical Therapy, we actually encourage you to continue seeing your physical therapist even after your symptoms appear to have resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why? Because often, even though you feel better, you may still not be fully rehabilitated. Furthermore, regular physical therapy can prevent future injury or pain while helping you optimize your overall physical performance and function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Physical therapy is a comprehensive and ongoing process, not a one-and-done. Even after you\u2019ve completed your initial round of treatment, our therapists can help you develop a personalized maintenance plan that ensures you\u2019re continuing to maximize your potential, even after your recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s an example of maintenance plans that allow you to continue enjoying physical therapy\u2019s many benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your therapist assigns you a series of specialized at-home exercises so you can continue to strengthen your muscles and improve your range of motion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You come in for a re-evaluation after a month to ensure your home exercise program is working as intended.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You schedule check-in appointments at regular intervals (such as every six months) to ensure you haven\u2019t regressed and to address any new developments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our therapists will also develop a return-to-activity schedule so you can safely return to your favorite sport or workout program without risking reinjury. A return-to-activity schedule involves gradually increasing the intensity of certain movements until you can operate as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The physical therapists at Go Physical Therapy are here to help you succeed\u2013even after you\u2019ve completed your treatment. <a href=\"https:\/\/gopt.us\/gophysicaltherapy\/physical-therapist-appointment\/\"><em>To get started, request an appointment today!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","faq_category":[19],"class_list":["post-216572","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","faq_category-physical-therapy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Can I continue seeing a therapist even when I feel better? - Go PT (Omaha)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gopt.us\/harrison\/faq\/can-i-continue-seeing-a-therapist-even-when-i-feel-better\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Can I continue seeing a therapist even when I feel better? - Go PT (Omaha)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The short answer is\u2013Absolutely!
