Physical Therapy
Most people associate physical therapy with post-surgical care. While this is one application of it, there are actually a lot of reasons to turn to physical therapy. In fact, receiving physical therapy before an issue becomes too serious can help you avoid surgery altogether. At Barrett Hospital & HealthCare, our physical therapists can help you with everyday pain, persistent soreness, loss of mobility or the ability to function at a previous level.
Manual therapy has been found to decrease edema, pain, spasms, and swelling, enhance health, wellness, and performance. We focus on the following areas:
-
Orthopedic rehabilitation to restore movement and function in joints, bones, and muscles. This includes neck, lower back or pelvic pain or dysfunction, any ailments affecting the extremities.
-
Osteoporosis or arthritis
-
Spinal stability and posture, core retraining
-
Neurological rehabilitation of diagnoses that effect the nervous system (Stroke, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Brain Injury, Congenital Defects, other various diagnoses, and deficits)
