Physical therapy is used for the preservation and restoration of movement and physical functions impaired by an injury, disability, or disease. Whether you undergo surgery, have an injury or chronic pain, physical therapy is often one of the first steps in addressing an injury and a very important part of recovering from that injury. Physical therapy addresses any underlying issues related to pain, making corrections to prevent ongoing problems by stretching and strengthening muscles. Our physical therapy services include heat massage, ultrasound, and special exercises prescribed by the doctor. Physical therapists design an appropriate stretching and strengthening regimen depending on the patient's needs, using manual techniques to prevent the build-up of scar tissue and maintain flexibility and range of motion.
