Physical Therapy

Rehabilitation refers to the process of helping a patient recover from a serious injury or illness. Patients often have to regain strength and learn new ways of completing normal, daily activities. Physical therapy, a branch of rehabilitation, focuses on building strength and mobility after disease, injury or surgery.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy treatments may include modalities such as heat, cold, ultrasound, electrical stimulation and mechanical traction to decrease your pain. These methods help prepare you for therapeutic exercise, manual therapy and functional training⁠—such as gait (walking) training, transfer training and other activities⁠—to work on restoring your previous level of function.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy treatments may also include therapeutic exercise, manual therapy and functional training with more emphasis on the arm and hand and activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing and home and community management skills.
