Physical Therapy

The main objectives of physical therapy are to promote body strength, function and mobility, and prevent future physical injury. Physical therapy is a dynamic health profession, which utilizes both scientific and evidence based clinical knowledge. Our goal is to focus on prevention of impairments, functional limitations or disabilities by identifying disablement risk factors and provide educational intervention to facilitate a positive change in the health behavior of patients.

Key benefits include:

  • Evaluation of physical problems
  • Increase and maintain muscle strength and endurance
  • Restore and increase joint range of motion
  • Increase coordination
  • Decrease pain
  • Decrease muscle spasm and plasticity
  • Decrease swelling and inflammation of joints
  • Promote healing of soft tissue lesions
  • Prevent fracture and deformity of limbs
  • Alleviate walking problems
  • Educate patients and family
  • Decrease stress
