Physical Therapy

What Is Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy is a series of exercises, stretches and movements to help the body recover from an injury, surgery or chronic pain. You’ll set individual goals to strengthen your body and regain flexibility and mobility.

How long you receive physical therapy depends on your condition and the location of your injury. During this time, you will undergo a treatment plan that is tailored to your goals. A typical physical therapy session can include exercises, massages, stretches and strength training.

In general, physical therapy emphasizes personalized care and patient milestones. Your physical therapist will focus on restoring mobility and function, preventing further injury and improving quality of life.
