Physical Therapy

Why Physical Therapy?

A Physical Therapist specializes in improving the physical function of the joints and muscles, alleviating musculoskeletal pain, assisting recovery from injuries, and can also help with preventing injury and loss of movement. A specially trained Physical Therapist can even work with and move the internal organs, break adhesions and improve organ function, which can be extremely beneficial for some types of fertility issues. Physical Therapists incorporate many different therapies such as fitness and exercise programs, utilize very specific manual therapy techniques, joint mobilizations, therapeutic massage, scientifically based stretching techniques, and other hands-on modalities, as well as providing education and training, into their physical therapy programs.

The goal of physical therapy is to optimize an individual’s overall functioning in their daily life activities. Physical Therapists are scientifically based movement experts that focus on enhancing the overall functioning of the musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, integuementary, and cardiopulmonary systems.

Pediatric Physical Therapists focus on creating movement solutions and enhancing the functioning of daily life activities for infants, babies, children and adolescents. They include improving gross and fine motor skills, balance and coordination, strength and endurance as well as cognitive and sensory processing and integration into their treatment goals.
