How We Can Help:

Physical Therapists are highly-trained professionals who must be licensed by the state to practice.

Physical Therapists evaluate your physical condition, take a thorough medical history and determine the most appropriate plan to aide in your recovery.

Physical Therapists have a unique knowledge of how the human body works. This enables them to recognize the symptoms, progression of impairments, functional limitations and disabilities that result from injuries, disorder and disease.

In addition, physical therapy treatments include...

Stretching Exercises		Ultrasound
Strengthening Exercises		Electrical Stimulation
Balance / Coordination training		Ice / Heat
Massage		Patient Education

What can you expect on your first visit?

The first visit usually consists of a discussion between the physical therapist and patient. An evaluation and exam help to determine the proper course of action.

After a full assessment is made, treatment begins and our physical therapists can give our patients home exercises to continue work and recover at home.

What to wear to Physical Therapy:

Patients should wear comfortable, loose fitting shirts and pants that will allow for stretching or movement related to their problem areas. Patients should always try to wear comfortable tennis shoes to appointments that require physical activity.
