The Science of Healing.

Patients and physicians are demanding the talents of physical therapists for conservative management of a wide variety of conditions. In many cases, patients are being sent to physical therapy instead of surgery.

Physical therapists help people with orthopedic conditions such as low back pain or osteoporosis; joint and soft tissue injuries such as fractures and dislocations; neurologic conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, or Parkinson's disease; connective tissue injuries such as burns or wounds; cardiopulmonary and circulatory conditions such as congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; and workplace injuries including repetitive stress disorders and sports injuries.

Physical therapists practice in a variety of settings, including hospitals, private practices, outpatient clinics, home health agencies, schools, sports and fitness facilities, work settings, and nursing homes.

Some physical therapists seek advanced certification in a clinical specialty, such as orthopedic, neurologic, cardiovascular and pulmonary, pediatric, geriatric, sports physical therapy, or electrophysiological testing and measurement.
 

Testimonials

I came in with neck, back, and left arm pain. I did have numbness and tingling in my left arm (hand), including weakness. Coming in two times a week for physical therapy helped. The first week doing physical therapy I noticed that my posture was improving. Sitting doing computer work on a daily basis was hard on my back. It is so much better. On the second week I slowly regained my strength doing the exercises. The last week was the most rewarding. I felt so much stronger in every exercise I did. Thank you so much for helping me. I do feel so much better.
