What is Physical Therapy?

Physical Therapy combines the best of all worlds in one comprehensive treatment approach! Physical Therapists are highly trained, credentialed clinicians combining aspects of massage, joint mobilization, modalities, and exercise to restore patients back to an active, pain-free lifestyle.  Physical Therapists treat across the lifespan.  Many specialize in working with pediatrics, geriatrics, or athletes; however, all are trained with the fundamentals to work with patients of all ages and conditions.  We are the musculoskeletal experts, best suited of health care clinicians to help you find the cause of your musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, then guide you to a solution. Often, patients are able to avoid surgeries by completing a thorough Physical Therapy program and maintaining compliance to the home exercise program and postural/ergonomic modifications prescribed by their Physical Therapist.
