Physical Therapy

Physical Therapists are health care professionals trained in the restoration, maintenance, and promotion of optimal physical function. Individuals from newborns to the very oldest, who have health-related conditions limiting their abilities to move and perform functional activities benefit from physical therapy.

Physical therapists examine each individual and develop a diagnosis and an intervention strategy. Specific treatment techniques are utilized to reduce pain, restore function and prevent disability.

Some of the conditions that physical therapists manage include: back and neck pain; spinal and joint conditions, such as arthritis; biomechanical problems and muscular control; sport-related injuries; headaches and neurological conditions, such as stroke and multiple sclerosis.
