Physical Therapy
Comprehensive Rehabilitation Program
The purpose of physical therapy is to assist in the diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and rehabilitation of persons with neuromuscular, orthopaedic, dermatological, pulmonary, cardiac, and other disabilities. Physical therapy uses heat, electrical stimulation, exercise, facilitation techniques, and assistive devices as a means to prevent permanent disability, to restore a patient’s functional capacities to an optimal level, and to maintain that level of performance. Patients of all ages – infant to geriatric – are treated; however different techniques may be used due to the age of the patient.
