Physical Therapy is skilled treatment that assists individuals to improve or restore the mobility necessary to move forward with their lives after an injury, surgery or illness. Physical therapists apply research and proven techniques to help people get back in motion with evaluation and treatment of all four of the body’s major systems: musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, cardiovascular/pulmonary, and integumentary (skin).
Physical therapists help motivate clients during treatment to build the necessary strength, flexibility, coordination and mobility skills so that they can function optimally. Physical therapists develop a plan of care using a variety of treatment techniques that help clients increase movement, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. Physical therapists can also help prevent loss of mobility and motion by developing a fitness and wellness-oriented program tailored to a client’s specific needs. Physical therapists work with clients to help them understand their bodies in order to achieve long-term health benefits.
