What is Physical Therapy?
Physical Therapy is a conservative form of treatment for musculoskeletal disorders.
Each program is designed by a licensed Physical Therapist who works closely with your physician. Treatments may consist of joint specific treatments, soft tissue mobilization, an exercise program, modalities, and patient education. This means we help you feel better with hands-on treatments; and personal attention to your needs in a comfortable setting.
A referral from a physician, nurse practitioner, podiatrist, or chiropractor is required for treatment. Areas of expertise include but are not limited to the following:
-
Pediatrics
-
-
Sports Injuries
-
-
Patient Education
-
Life Skills/Daily Activities
-
Injury Prevention Programs
Why would I see a therapist?
The conditions a Physical Therapist treat may vary from children with developmental delays, to sporting/work related injuries, to helping combat arthritis and degenerative changes.
A Physical Therapist is a specialist who works closely with your physician to reduce pain and help you return to regular activities. Pain may be a result of headaches, back pain, a sprained ankle, or a variety of other concerns. Physical Therapy is also useful to speed the recovery process after surgery.
