Physical Therapy

Massage therapy involves the manipulation of soft tissues in a concerted effort to reduce or eliminate pain, improve posture and improve alignment. Physical therapy will take this a step further. Physical therapy will perform tests and measures to identify potential and existing problems.

It will offer more direct answers to questions such as:

Are limitations in range of motion related to muscle issues, joint mobility issues or both?; Are weaknesses, strength imbalances, limited flexibility, flexibility imbalances or all the above affecting body alignment, joint mobility, joint stability or biomechanics of the region?; Are problems with balance related to strength and flexibility issues or something else?

Answers to such questions can help to target your treatment plan and streamline what you can do at home to help yourself.
