What is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy is an area of rehabilitation that involves the assessment and treatment of various physical ailments, such as pain, weakness, stiffness, the inability to fully use your arms or legs, sports injuries and excessive swelling after surgery or an illness.

The goals of physical therapy may include:

  • Treating injuries and restoring function
  • Teaching patients how to improve mobility
    and independence
  • Improving conditioning through exercise
  • Returning individuals to work, activities and
    their daily routine
  • Improving overall quality of life
  • Teaching lifestyle changes to prevent re-injury

Our Fully Licensed Staff
Our fully licensed staff of specially-trained physical therapists emphasize a “hands on” approach to patient care, providing individualized attention to every patient. Our physical therapists develop treatment protocols with your doctor and use methods such as exercise, functional activities, heat, cold, ultrasound and
massage.

Our physical therapists are trained to evaluate movement and overall conditioning and to identify improper body positioning. They will also provide specific education on treatment and prevention.
