Physical Therapy can help recover from an injury and avoid future injury by reducing pain in the soft tissues, improving flexibility and function, and building strength.A physical therapist can also evaluate how you perform an activity and make suggestions for doing the activity in a way that is less likely to result in an injury. Therapy can also help you live more easily with chronic or ongoing health conditions. A physical therapist will work with you to establish your goals, then create a program of range-of-motion, strengthening, and endurance activities to meet your needs.
