What is Physical Therapy?

It is likely that you might have heard of physical therapy, or you may know of someone who has been treated by a physical therapist for some type of injury or condition. But exactly what is physical therapy? Who are physical therapists?

The answer to this question is too broad to provide here. Your physical therapist is educated on how each part of your body interacts within the whole. The pain, discomfort or limitations you are experiencing are assessed and a program is developed to help you take part in healing and prevention of future injury or pain.

Therapy can be helpful to you whether you are suffering from a specific injury or are experiencing the aches and pains of what you feel is "aging". You can find relief from headaches and neck or back pain and/or relief from pain hampering your ablility to work or play.
