Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy Center

In Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy Center, trained professionals evaluate and treat abnormal physical function related to an injury, disability, or other health condition.

What is Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy is care that aims to ease pain and help you function, move, and live better. A physical therapist helps take care of patients in all phases of healing, from initial diagnosis to restorative and preventive stages of recovery. Physical therapy may be a standalone option, or it may support other treatments.

Some patients are referred to a physical therapist by a doctor, while others seek therapy themselves. People of all ages benefit from physical therapy. It can treat a variety of health problems.

Conditions which Physical Therapy May Help with

Physical therapists can provide supplementary treatment to a wide variety of medical conditions, depending on their specialty.

Although physical therapists may not directly and independently treat the medical condition other than pure musculoskeletal conditions, they work to optimize recovery or educate a person on how to optimize their movement patterns.

Some conditions that could benefit from physical therapy are:

• cardiopulmonary conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, and post-myocardial infarction heart failure
• conditions that affect the hand, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger
• musculoskeletal dysfunction, including back pain, rotator cuff tears, and temporomandibular joint disorders

• pediatric conditions, including cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy
• sports-related injuries, such as concussions and tennis elbow
• female health and pelvic floor dysfunction, including urinary incontinence and lymphedema
• skin conditions or injuries, such as burns, wound care, and diabetic ulcers
