Physical Therapy
Physical Therapists (PTs) address neuromuscular and musculoskeletal problems that limit movement, such as pain, weakness, range of motion, coordination, and balance limitations that result from physical injury or disease process.
Our Physical Therapists help patients return to activities ranging from walking to returning work. They implement various courses of treatment including therapeutic exercises, heat and cold modalities, gait, transfers, and balance retraining.
