Physical Therapy

What is Physical Therapy?

Physical Therapy is the health profession, which is concerned with health promotion, prevention of physical disabilities and with the rehabilitation of persons disabled by pain, disease or injury. It involves evaluating and treating patients through the use of physical therapeutic measures as opposed to medicines, surgery or radiation.

Some of the many conditions our physical therapists treat include: musculoskeletal injuries such as muscle, tendon or ligament tears, strains, sprains, tendonitis and bursitis and fractures. We treat pain in backs, necks, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, pelvis, hips, knees, ankles and feet through therapeutic exercise, strength and flexibility training, gait training, traction, electrical stimulation, whirlpool, posture evaluation, anodyne, ultrasound, manual therapy and heat/cold treatments.
