Physical Therapy helps people who are in pain or have decreased strength and movement caused by injury, illness or surgery. Patients work directly with a qualified Physical Therapist using an individualized treatment program. A variety of techniques and equipment are used to decrease pain and increase muscle function.
Some common ailments treated by Physical Therapists include:
- back and neck pain from physical conditions or accidents
- recovery from surgery, such as knee and hip replacements
- regaining skills affected by stroke
In addition to the treatment provided at the hospital, Physical Therapists provide exercises that patients can do at home to enhance recovery.
