Physical
Therapy
Physical Therapists
are specially trained in taking care of any injuries or conditions associated
with muscles, tendons, joints, ligaments and bones.
They can show you
exercises to help keep your muscles strong and your joints from becoming
stiff. They can teach you how to use special equipment that may assist
you with walking and moving about more safely and with less discomfort.
Your doctor will
determine if a physical therapist would help in the type of condition
that you may have. If he/she determines that this would be needed, you
will be given a referral to see the physical therapist with special
instructions from your doctor.
