Physical Therapy

 

What is Physical Therapy?

With the use of various assessments, techniques, and exercises, our physical therapists will help you get back to a better quality of life. The primary goal of physical therapy is to restore, improve, and/or maintain mobility and function, as well as decrease pain and overcoming obstacles in your life. Physical therapy is applicable to a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to musculoskeletal injuries, neurological disorders, chronic pain, sports injuries, arthritis, and respiratory conditions.
