What is Physical Therapy?

Physical Therapy utilizes a range of noninvasive treatments and exercises to help you recover from injury or illness.

Physical Therapy care is focused on easing the pain, restoring function, and improving mobility, and may include:

  • Functional mobility
  • Stretching exercise
  • Core strengthening exercises
  • Ultrasound therapy
  • Balance

Physical Therapy technicians also help patients adjust to using mobility aids and artificial limbs, and make adjustments to these physical aids as patients progress.

The BodyWorks Medical Center team shows you how to exercise safely at home and gives you a plan to follow that they’ve tailored to your exact requirements.

What happens at a physical therapy appointment?

The first stage is your assessment, where your physical Therapy team examines your medical history in detail and asks you about what your symptoms are and how well you cope with everyday activities.

your physical Therapy technician may conduct some tests to check specific capabilities, such as:

  • Examining your posture both standing and seated
  • Checking how well-balanced you are
  • Watching you walk on the level as well as up and down slopes
  • Observing how well you turn, reach, bend over, and grip

Once your physical Therapy technician has gathered all the information they need, they’ll ask you what your priorities are and what you wish to achieve, and then develop a treatment plan around your condition and goals.
