therapy
Physical Therapy (PT), is the treatment of physical injury or dysfunction. Physical therapists promote a greater ability to move and enjoy a more active lifestyle by addressing the following goals:

• Improve mobility and strength

• Increase balance and proprioception

• Prevent injury

• Relieve pain

Physical therapists may use one or a combination of therapies including rehabilitative exercises, manual or neuromuscular techniques, modalities like ultrasound or ice/heat and patient-tailored home exercises to help with the following conditions:

• Improve posture

• Improve biomechanics

• Decrease back or joint pain

• Alleviate:

osteoarthritis
sciatica and other radiculopathies
osteoporosis
tension headaches or whiplash
TMJ syndrome

• Rehabilitate:

repetitive motion injuries
strains
sprains
fractures

• Facilitate post-operative recovery

Our physical therapists provide comprehensive evaluations and treatments to facilitate healing and restore function. When appropriate, they will refer you to a medical doctor.
