What is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy (also known as physiotherapy) is the treatment of physical dysfunction or injury by the use of therapeutic exercise and the application of modalities that are intended to restore or facilitate normal function or development. You may feel discomfort during the initial phase of therapy. It is important to complete your entire physical therapy program in order to eliminate discomfort. The benefits of physical therapy include achieving pain-free optimal functioning, enhancing the quality of life, improving strength, mobility and stability.
