Physical Therapy is the health care profession that provides treatment to individuals to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and physical well being throughout life. Physical therapy treatment includes hands-on manual therapy, therapeutic and corrective exercise, patient education and modalities.

Therapeutic goals can vary considerably between massage therapists and clients. In some cases, massage is recommended by a health professional and may be performed as part of a larger treatment plan. For example, someone in physical therapy for an injury might have regular therapeutic massage to loosen muscles, improve muscle tone, and increase flexibility. Likewise, it can be used to supplement wound care and a variety of other treatments.

Spine rehabilitation includes treatment of impairments, which may include pain or limitations within the neck and back and the effects they have on the hips and extremities. Our physical therapists will complete an assessment of these areas through specialized testing and mechanical assessment. Since almost no one has a perfectly normal spine, the interplay between a patient’s pain and symptoms and the mechanical assessment results in an incredible tool for your PT to design the best treatment plan for you.
