What Physical Therapy Can Do For You

At your initial visit, the physical therapist will perform an evaluation which consists of a musculoskeletal assessment of the trunk, hips, pelvis, and pelvic floor. Findings may include muscle weakness, joint/soft tissue restrictions, muscle guarding/spasm, poor coordination, and even dysfunctional breathing patterns. Depending on findings, treatments may consist of: manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and activities, ultrasound, biofeedback, electric stimulation, home exercise program, heat/ice, and instruction of proper postures and review of daily activities that may affect your condition. Your therapist will spend 45-60 minutes with you at each visit.
