FAQs

• What is physical therapy?

  Physical therapy is a medical, hands-on approach to relieving pain and restoring function. Physical therapists are medical experts in musculoskeletal and neurological conditions and work closely with physicians. Our physical therapists evaluate your movement patterns, identify the cause of your pain, and work to eliminate it.

  While every patient’s condition and pain is unique, your physical therapist will use a variety of hands-on techniques, exercises, and equipment to relieve pain quickly and restore your function to optimum levels. The overall goal is to restore pain-free mobility and function and to prevent the injury or pain from recurring.

• How do I know if physical therapy will help me?

  Your Doctor of Physical Therapy will perform a 60-minute thorough head to toe evaluation to determine the cause of your pain.  If you require an outside specialist we will make a recommendation for you. Not quite ready for a full evaluation? We have 15 min sports injury screens to determine if physical therapy will help.
