Physical therapy begins with a thorough evaluation to identify any physical impairments and functional limitation.
Our physical therapists will work with you at your home to formulate a plan and establish a treatment plan and monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed to meet your goals. Any accompanying pain is closely managed to ensure the greatest possible benefit from therapy. In addition, we educate patients on in-home exercises and injury prevention techniques to safely ensure long-term independence even after physical therapy is completed.
