“The impact therapists have on individuals’ lives cannot be measured in numbers or statistics. It’s about the small victories, the moments of joy, and the feeling of hope that we help to instill.”
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy helps restore mobility and prevents further disability, enabling clients to regain independence and boost self-esteem. Exercises play a critical role in building strength and endurance, as well as in managing pain and gaining balance control.
Physical therapists an physical therapy assistants are trained to work with patients who have injuries, disabilities, or other health conditions that need treatment. They help patients avoid surgery and prescription drugs, maximize mobility, manage pain and chronic conditions, prevent future problems, and improve physical function and fitness.
Although physical therapists are experts in rehabilitation and habilitation, they also have the expertise and the opportunity to help individuals and populations improve overall health and avoid preventable health conditions.
