What is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy benefits people of all ages who suffer from pain, illnesses, medical conditions, and injuries that limit their normal ability to move and function. A physical therapy program, specific and customized to each individual, can assist a person to return to their prior level of function and encourage activities and lifestyle changes to prevent further injury and improve overall health and well-being.
