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

The individualized, “hands on” approach that characterizes physical therapy care is highly valued by patients. When a physical therapist sees a patient for the first time, he or she examines that individual and develops a plan of care that promotes the ability to move, reduce pain, restores function and prevents disability.  The physical therapist and the patient then work side-by-side to make sure that the goals of the treatment plan are met.
