No two bodies are the same and neither are injuries. Yet too often, injury recovery is treated like a “one-size-fits-all” process: generic rest, generic stretches, and a handout full of exercises that may or may not apply to your situation.

At Tualatin Valley Physical Therapy, we take a different approach: every injury recovery plan is individually tailored to the person in front of us. Why? Because a plan that’s not personalized won’t give you the best chance at healing fully or staying injury-free long term.

Let’s explore why tailoring your recovery plan matters and how a personalized approach leads to better outcomes.

In a world of quick fixes and instant gratification, it’s easy to feel frustrated when recovery doesn’t happen overnight. But when it comes to physical therapy, patience isn’t just a virtue, it’s a crucial part of the process. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, healing a chronic injury, or working through everyday aches and pains, the road to recovery is rarely linear. There are good days and bad days, breakthroughs and setbacks. But the key to lasting results? Consistency and patience.
