Following a thorough evaluation by the licensed Physical Therapist, an individual treatment program is established in conjunction with your physician. The Physical Therapist will work with you to improve your motor skills. This may include walking using assistive devices as needed, general mobility and flexibility, and strengthening among other things. A Physical Therapist can assist in pain management and healing following surgery, a fracture, or a soft tissue injury such as a sprain. The Physical Therapist also works to improve range of motion and strength at each joint and to maximize your ability to move within your environment. Treatment techniques utilized may include physical exercise, moving through a range of motion, stretching, strength and endurance training, pain management, soft tissue mobilization, electrical stimulation, hydrotherapy, and therapeutic heat and cold treatments.
