Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation
Physical therapy focuses on the restoration of function and mobility – getting you back to optimum performance and quality of life following an illness or injury. Physical therapists treat individuals of all ages who have or may develop impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions related to conditions of the musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and/or integumentary systems.
Physical therapy is used to address illnesses or injuries that limit a person’s abilities to move and function comfortably in their daily lives. A physical therapist will use a physical examination and consideration of an individual’s history to make a diagnosis and establish a management plan. Physical medicine and rehabilitation, also known as physiatry, is used to enhance and restore functional ability and quality of life to those with physical impairments or disabilities.
