Columbus Physical Therapy provides ‘Feel Good Experience’ – Columbus Telegram

COLUMBUS Staff members of Columbus Physical Therapy are used to hearing the business recognizable jingle sung to them when theyre out in the community.

Known as the place with The Feel Good Experience, the physical therapy clinic owned by Steve Line and Rusty Kuhl, located at 3211 25th St., has been in Columbus since 1999, and opened clinics in Humphrey five years ago and Norfolk last year.

Though the community may be familiar with Columbus Physical Therapys jingle, some might not understand what The Feel Good Experience and physical therapy in general are all about.

There are always new products and new equipment out there with more bells and whistles. In the end, therapy is still the same. Its strengthening, stretching, pain management and teaching people the right things to do, Line said.

Physical therapy helps people of all ages who have medical conditions, illness, pain and injuries that limit their ability to move and function. A customized physical therapy program can help individuals return to their daily activities, as well as encourage activities and lifestyle changes that can help prevent further injury and improve overall health and well-being.

Some of the benefits of physical therapy are:

Reduce or eliminate pain. Therapeutic exercises, manual therapy techniques and treatments such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation or dry needling can help relieve pain and restore muscle and joint function to reduce pain. These therapies can also prevent pain from returning.

Avoid surgery. If physical therapy helps you eliminate pain or heal from an injury, surgery may not be needed. And even if surgery is required, you may benefit from pre-surgery physical therapy. If you are going into a surgery stronger and in better shape, you will recover faster afterwards in many cases. Also, by avoiding surgery, health care costs are reduced.

Improve mobility. If youre having trouble standing, walking or moving, no matter your age, physical therapy can help. Stretching and strengthening exercises help restore your ability to move. Physical therapists can properly fit individuals with a cane, crutches or any other assistive device, or assess for orthotic prescription. By customizing an individual care plan, whatever activity that is important to an individuals life can be practiced and adapted to ensure maximal performance and safety.

Improve balance and prevent falls. When in physical therapy, you will get screened for fall risk. If youre at high risk for falls, therapists will provide exercises that safely and carefully challenge your balance as a way to mimic real-life situations. Therapists also help you with exercises to improve coordination and assistive devices to help with safer walking. When the balance problem is caused by a problem in ones vestibular system, physical therapists can perform specific maneuvers that can quickly restore proper vestibular functioning and reduce and eliminate symptoms of dizziness or vertigo.

Manage age-related issues. As individuals age, they may develop arthritis or osteoporosis or need a joint replaced. Physical therapists are experts in helping patients recover from joint replacement and manage osteoporotic conditions conservatively.

Recover from or prevent a sports injury. Physical therapists understand how different sports can increase your risk for specific types of injuries, such as stress fractures for distance runners. They can design appropriate recovery or prevention exercise programs for you to ensure a safe return to your sport.

Manage diabetes and vascular conditions. As part of an overall diabetes management plan, exercise can help effectively control blood sugar. Additionally, people with diabetes may have problems with sensation in their feet and legs. Physical therapists can help provide and educate these patients on proper foot care to prevent further problems down the road.

At Columbus Physical Therapy, The Feel Good Experience was developed by Line and Kuhl to bring a customer service-driven atmosphere to a medical setting.

Pain and discomfort are not fun and we are here to help you get back to the activities that you love as quickly as possible, Line said.

That starts with the commitment to same-day appointments.

The sooner we can begin treatment, the better the outcomes. We respect your time and beginning your treatment on time is important to us. We provide clear communication with you and your chosen medical provider to ensure that any changes to your customized plan can take place quickly, Line said.
