Physical Therapy

​

A physical therapist is a trained and licensed medical professional with experience in assessing physical abnormalities, restoring physical function and mobility, maintaining physical function and improving independence. 

​

The initial assessment will include a health history screening, evaluation of posture, gait, flexibility and strength, muscle and joint function, and performance.

Following an evaluation, the physical therapist will establish a clinical diagnosis, prognosis, plan of care and short and long term goals of treatment.
