Head to Toe Physical Therapy!

The Who,
The Who, What, Why, When, and Where of Physical Therapy

Who are Physical Therapists (PTs): PTs are movement experts, they help people to move forward from pain, injury, and illness.

What do Physical Therapists do: PTs help restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities of patients with injuries or disease. They also restore, maintain, and promote overall fitness and health.

Why Physical Therapy: Physical therapy treatment usually results in faster recovery, is cost effective, can prevent more costly treatment later, reduces costs associated with lost time from work, and helps return you to the life you had before your injury or illness.

When do I need a Physical Therapist: The following list contains some of the most common reasons to see a PT:

·        Ankle/Foot problems (such as plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendinitis)
·        Back and neck pain (such as arthritis, torn meniscus, or general knee pain)
·        Knee problems (such as arthritis, torn meniscus, or general knee pain)
·        Shoulder, elbow, and wrist conditions (such as a torn rotator cuff, tennis elbow or carpal tunnel syndrome)
·        Sprains and muscle strains
·        Fractures (such as hip, ankle, or wrist)
·        Post-surgical rehabilitation (such as bunionectomies or knee arthoscopies)
·        Stroke Rehabilitation
·        Problems with walking or losing balance
