Rehab and Exercise?
Physical therapists (PTs) are doctorate degree healthcare professionals and movement experts who diagnose and treat individuals of all ages. PTs optimize quality of life for patients through prescribed exercise, hands-on care, and patient education.
PTs examine each individual and develop a personalized treatment plan using techniques to promote the ability to move better, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. In addition, PTs work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness and wellness oriented programs for healthier and more active lifestyles.
Physical therapists empower people to be active participants in their own treatment and they work collaboratively with other health professionals to ensure patients receive comprehensive care.
What are the benefits of Rehab and Exercise?
The benefits of physical therapy are far reaching and include everything from improved mobility, strength, and function with decreased pain to be able to return to all previous activities. Physical therapy can also decrease your need for opioid pain medication and stave off surgical intervention for many diagnoses.
