Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy (PT) is a healthcare discipline focused on restoring, maintaining, and improving physical function and mobility through targeted exercises, manual techniques, and therapeutic modalities. PT is commonly prescribed for individuals recovering from injuries, surgeries, or illnesses, as well as those managing chronic conditions or disabilities. During physical therapy sessions, licensed physical therapists assess patients’ mobility, strength, flexibility, and endurance and develop personalized treatment plans to address their specific needs and goals. These plans may include exercises, stretches, joint mobilizations, electrical stimulation, heat or cold therapy, and education on proper body mechanics and injury prevention. The ultimate aim of physical therapy is to optimize individuals’ physical function, relieve pain, prevent disability, and enhance their overall quality of life.
