What is a Physical Therapist and How Can They Help Me?

A Physical Therapist is a licensed healthcare professional who examines and evaluates a patient's musculoskeletal condition. After evaluation by our Physical Therapist, patients will receive a personalized plan for treatment and a one-on-one administering of that treatment regimen to address their symptoms and condition and promote optimal overall health.
