Physical therapy is fundamentally a hands-on,
manual treatment approach that is universally
accepted as an appropriate treatment option
for many joint or muscle-related injuries.
It is the job of a physical therapist
to not only treat symptoms such as pain,
but to determine what is causing the pain
in the first place. As "movement experts",
P.T.s are uniquely trained to assess posture
and movement, and to then develop a treatment
plan to assist in making the appropriate
changes to the body to eliminate the painful
dysfunction. By eliminating the "driver"
of the symptoms, full recovery is a possibility.
This "whole body" approach is what makes
physical therapy an effective treatment
option for all types of orthopedic problems.

treat patients with:
Tendonitis, Arthritis, Joint Stiffness,
Joint Sprains, Ligament/Tendon Tears,
