What is Physical Therapy?

Your Primary Care Provider might suggest this type of treatment if you’ve had an injurty or illness that makes it hard to do daily tasks. People of all ages benefit from physical therapy and it can treat a variety of health problems. Our licensed professionals will examine and assess your needs. They’ll ask you questions about your pain and other symptoms, your ability to move or do everyday tasks, how well you sleep, and your medical history. The objective is to determine a diagnosis of your condition, why you have the condition, inclusing impairments that either caused or are a result of the condition and develop a plan of care to address each.
