Is Physical Therapy for you?
Physical Therapy (AKA Physiotherapy)
Physical Therapists assist in the preservation, improvement or restoration of movement by identifying and creating a plan to address areas that are impeding proper function.
Do you have pain or decreased mobility? Through physical therapy you can regain lost mobility and function at your peak without pain or discomfort. Physical therapy is the non-surgical, non-invasive route to restored function and peak performance.
Are you having trouble walking, going upstairs or getting in and out of bed? Physical therapy can make daily tasks and activities easier.
Do you want to get back in the game? Injuries large and small can keep you on the sidelines, and this is tough for an athlete. Physical Therapy can get you back in the game faster.
The broad term Manual Therapy encompasses many modalities such as massage, heat and cold treatment, exercise, and electrical stimulation. It almost always includes exercise such as stretching, core exercises, weight lifting and walking.
