Physical Therapy and Physical Fitness Can Help in Addiction Recovery

Today in the United States, most alcohol rehab centers rely exclusively on group therapy as their primary treatment method, often neglecting other critical healing components. For example, physical therapy and physical fitness training are crucial parts of the recovery process and are often left out of most 12-step traditional rehab programs.

If you’re dealing with back pain, muscle pain, or other body ailments from years of prolonged alcohol abuse, physical therapy can be a great way to reverse these effects. Exercise releases endorphins supplies vital blood flow through the muscular system, promotes good sleep and improves bone density. Unfortunately, individuals who have been abusing alcohol feel tired, exhausted, and weak all too often.

When these individuals check into treatment, they have low energy, which is a clear sign that they need to boost their energy system through exercises that challenge their muscular and cardiovascular systems. Although it may seem challenging to start working out at first, individuals notice an almost immediate increase in energy and mood and begin to gradually but surely feel stronger and more confident. Another critical component that should be added to an alcohol recovery program is stretching, which has numerous benefits. It heightens and maintains the range of motion in joints, increases circulation, decreases muscle tension, reduces muscle cramping, tightness, and pain, and speeds up the overall recovery process. At Passages, our clients regularly receive physical therapy and physical fitness sessions from professionally trained and certified instructors to ensure total recovery.
