Physical therapists (PTs) are health care professionals who treat people for muscle, bone and joint conditions that limit their ability to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives or in sports. Physical therapy is used to help people return to work and play after an injury, surgery or illness.

Our sports and orthopedic physical therapists complete an initial evaluation and create a treatment program to get you back to the activities you love. Your program might include:

• supervised and self-guided exercises to reduce pain and improve your strength, fitness, coordination and flexibility
• balance and body awareness training to help you understand your body and how you move
• exercises that simulate day-to-day activities, helping you to learn safe movement patterns
• education to teach you self-care techniques and skills to improve your understanding of body mechanics
• strategies to increase your daily physical activity, which research shows helps to reduce risk of re-injury
• massage and muscle/joint manipulation.
