Physical Therapists are movement experts who optimize quality of life through prescribed exercise, hands-on care, and patient education.  PT’s teach patients how to prevent or manage their condition so that they will achieve long term health benefits. PT’s examine each individual and develop a plan, using treatment techniques to promote the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. In addition, PT’s work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness- and wellness-oriented programs for healthier and more active lifestyles.
