What is Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy is a healthcare profession that helps people improve their movement and manage their pain. Physical Therapists use their knowledge and skills to help restore, maintain, and promote optimal physical function to those with physical ailments. Although most clients seek out Physical Therapy after an injury or chronic pain, our therapists can also help achieve fitness goals and even just maintain a healthy lifestyle and improve overall well being.
