Physical Therapy

Physical therapy (PT) is a branch of rehabilitative health that uses specially designed exercises and equipment to help patients regain or improve their physical abilities from accidents, injuries, or deformities. PT is appropriate for many types of patients, from infants born with musculoskeletal birth defects to adults. We work with pediatric and geriatric patients, patients who’ve had amputations, and patients recuperating from sports injuries.
