What is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy is a non-invasive treatment that helps individuals develop, maintain and restore maximum body movement and physical function.
Our physical therapist can help you recover from an injury, relieve pain, prevent future injury or deal with a chronic condition. It can be applied at any age or stage of life. The ultimate goal of physical therapy is to improve health and quality of life.
Treatment begins with an evaluation where problem areas are identified and a personalized plan of care is developed incorporating your goals in order to return you to your highest obtainable level of function and independence as soon as possible.
Treatment includes patient education to allow you to better understand your condition or injury and learn methods of prevention such as exercises or proper body mechanics to limit the possibility of re-injury or re-occurrence.
