Physical therapy facilitates the natural healing process through the integration of various treatment modalities, therapeutic exercise, functional training, and education. A specific treatment plan is developed for each patient which may encompass:
- Range of motion
- Strength and Endurance Training
- Normalization of Muscle Tone
- Facilitation of Normal Movement Patterns
- Gait Training (with or without the use of canes, walkers, or other assistive devices)
- Posture and Body Mechanics Training

The goal of physical therapy is to increase patient function. |
