Physical Therapy Helps Firefighters

Glendale, Arizona Fire Departments are getting relief!

Firefighters, the tough men and women in uniform, in this scorching heat, saving lives from burning buildings, and helping trapped victims in cars after accidents. Lets face it, their job is extremely physical, and these everyday heroes need to stay in top shape for the job, and for the community who needs them! Here are 3 reasons why Physical Therapy helps Firefighters continue to stay in the best shape and pain-free!

1. Firefighters Move- A LOT!: Running in and out of the station, carrying gear in and out of buildings- even the first aid calls require some heavy lifting. Physical Therapy can help keep your muscles and joints moving freely, with no pain, so you can handle these tasks no matter the size. One way we are able to do this is through restoring normal tissue mobility. Myofascial release techniques can instantly improve tightness, breakdown scar tissue and eliminate pain.

2. Physical Therapy Helps Educate: At Impact Physical Therapy, we want to look at your entire body not only for current pains or aches, but for future possible issues as well, and our goal is to help educate you on what you can do to avoid injuries, and stay healthy. This is HUGE! Let’s get you feeling better, AND staying that way.

3. Same Day Appointments: You don’t need to worry about the dreaded wait times at our clinic, if you get hurt on the job, you can be seen that same day, no prescription is necessary! You stay pain free by getting it handled by the professionals right away, leaving less down time to get you back on the line of duty!
