A
physical therapist is an expert in the physical examination
of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular injuries. Our physical
therapists' examinations emphasize identifying the underlying
cause of injury rather than merely treating the symptoms.
This
philosophy focuses on a detailed biomechanical analysis, which
allows us to determine the faulty movement pattern and identify
the mechanism of injury.
Based
on their findings, the physical therapist will recommend a
treatment plan including stretching and strengthening exercises
to address biomechanical faults and modalities to address
pain, swelling, and inflammation. We also provide extensive
patient education, which encourages patient involvement and
promotes injury prevention.
