Working closely with a physical therapist to create a treatment plan that is unique to the patient’s illness, injury, or disability constitutes one on one physical therapy, a personalized method of rehabilitation. The patient receives individualized care from their therapist throughout a session as they are led through exercises, stretches, and manual therapy methods to enhance physical function.

While group therapy often involves exercises and activities created for a group of patients with comparable problems, one-on-one physical therapy involves individualized attention and treatment programs. A more individualized approach and more focus on the patient’s unique requirements and goals are made possible by one-on-one therapy.

The physical therapist will assess your condition, go through your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan during a session. The therapist will lead you through stretches and exercises to increase your flexibility, strength, and range of motion. In addition, the therapist may employ manual therapy methods including massage, joint mobilization, and stretching to reduce discomfort and enhance function.

Depending on the patient’s demands, sessions might take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Throughout the rehabilitation process, the frequency and length of sessions may be changed to make sure the patient is getting closer to their objectives.

Individualized care and treatment plans, faster progress toward personal goals, and enhanced physical function and quality of life are just a few advantages of one-on-one physical therapy. As contrast to group therapy, one-on-one counseling may also help lower the chance of reinjury and hasten recovery.
