What is Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy is a healthcare specialty focused on the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of individuals with conditions that limit their ability to move and perform functional activities. Physical therapists use therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and specialized equipment to help patients restore movement, reduce pain, and prevent disability.

How Does Physical Therapy Work?

Physical therapists assess your condition through movement analysis, strength testing, and functional evaluation. They then create a personalized treatment plan that may include therapeutic exercises, manual therapy techniques, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, and other modalities. Treatment focuses on restoring function, improving strength, and preventing future injury.
