Physical Therapy

Overview

Physical therapy is a field of specialized medicine that includes the evaluation, assessment and treatment of individuals who have an illness or injury that results in pain, physical impairment, limited normal movement or loss of function.

At your first therapy session, our physical therapists (or PTs, as they are commonly called) will examine and assess your needs. They’ll ask you questions about your pain or other symptoms, your ability to move or perform everyday tasks, and your medical history. The objective is to determine a diagnosis of your condition and then develop the best plan of care to address your specific needs
