 ABOUT   

WHAT IS PHYSICAL THERAPY

Physical therapy is a constantly evolving medical discipline with origins as early as 460 BC. Physicians such as Hippocrates and Hector were encouraging the treatment of their patient's limitations with the use of massage and hydrotherapy (water therapy). Since that time the profession has evolved and is now directed by scientific outcomes and clinical research. However, one thing has remained constant. Physical therapy is a highly effective conservative form of treatment aimed at treating pain, mobility limitations and weakness with the goal of allowing individuals to overcome obstacles that are impeding performance with daily activities. Physical therapists are seen as experts in "the science of healing and the art of caring."
