What Is Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy can help treat bone and joint problems through repetitive treatments that promote healing. These repetitive motions and exercises target specific areas to strengthen compromised muscles and connective tissue. The result is stronger bones and joints that can function with minimal discomfort and improve a patient’s quality of life.

Physical therapy can be used to treat a bone or joint condition or as part of a recovery plan following a procedure. Your doctor will be able to develop a treatment plan utilizing physical therapy that’s unique to your needs. 

Who Can Benefit from Orthopedic Physical Therapy?

A range of conditions can result from athletic activity, accidents, and aging; physical therapy is important for regaining strength and functionality.
