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.
