Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy (PT) involves the rehabilitation of a person to improve movement and function and prevent, identify, correct, or alleviate acute or prolonged movement dysfunction following disease, injury, surgery or amputation. Each client is evaluated and treated with an individualized PT program to achieve maximal physical function in the most effective and efficient way possible.
