Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy (P.T.) services begin with an individualized evaluation of the patient’s mobility, balance, muscle performance, posture, and overall function. Goals are determined with the patient/family to restore function, reduce pain, improve balance and walking ability. A personalized therapy plan may include strength and stretching exercises; pain management techniques, core work and body mechanic training.

This includes:

• Evaluation and treatment of pain, motor and balance skills
• Patient and caregiver education
• Use of modalities for strengthening and pain management
• Exercise programs
• Recommendation of orthotics and adaptive equipment
