Physical Therapy
What is physical therapy?
Physical therapy is a primary health care profession which helps people to restore, maintain and maximize their strength and physical function and improve their overall well-being. They learn how to pinpoint the root cause of an injury and/or the multiple factors involved in movement dysfunction and chronic pain.
When should you see a physical therapist?
A change in your ability to move and function is a common reason people seek the help of a physical therapist. These changes may be due to a recent injury, surgery, onset of pain or due to chronic pain. However, physical therapists are not only skilled at rehabilitation, they are also skilled at the prevention of injury. So instead of waiting for discomfort to change into a loss of function, you would benefit from the help of a skilled and certified manipulative physical therapist.
