in What is Physical Therapy?
We are experts in movement, focusing on helping you achieve a better quality of life through exercise and hands-on care. Pain medications are great, but they are not a long- term solution to living a healthy, pain-free life. Physical therapy focuses on getting your life back on track after injury, or simply avoiding becoming injured. A physical therapist can be involved in all stages of your life: helping restore movement function to preventing future injuries.
Who Can Benefit?
Anyone can benefit from physical therapy, it is not only for the injured athletes. We help people with cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy to achieve movement goals. Physical therapy can help train your lung muscles to improve quality of life if you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or cystic fibrosis. We can also help you recover from heart conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome and stroke, stimulating the muscles and nerves to maintain circulation.
Physical therapy for seniors
Contrary to popular belief, pain is not part of ageing. With proper physical therapy, you can have a pain- free and active lifestyle. If you are worried about trips and falls, a physical therapist can help. Balance deficit training will improve your ability to adjust your balance when you trip, preventing falls and fractures. This will help with your confidence when you are out and about.
