Physio therapy (PT) can help patients, including accident victims and individuals with disabling conditions such as low-back pain, neck pain, arthritis, heart disease, fractures, head injuries, diabetes, wounds and cerebral palsy, by providing services that restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities.

Evaluatation of each patient starting with a detailed medical history, testing and measuring strength, range of motion, balance, coordination, posture, muscle performance and function is performed. Reviewing the patient's prior and current level of function can help determine the patient's ability to regain proper function.

A physio therapy treatment plan, based on review and findings, with goals and expected outcomes will be worked up and followed. Treatment includes supervised exercise to increase flexibility, strength and endurance, modalities such as electrical stimulation, ultrasound, traction, iontophoresis, ice and heat, joint and soft tissue mobilization, instruction on the use of assistive devices and adaptive equipment, lifting techniques, body mechanics and fitting with orthotics and braces.
