What is Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy is a hands-on natural treatment which helps maintain and restore optimal movement and function ability for the body. It is a primary health care profession and is established n health science principles.
Many of the physical problems you experience are caused by or manifest themselves through injury, disease, ageing or environmental factors. If you experience pain or discomfort from any normal body movement or function you may be suffering from some form of injury - possibly caused by one of the factors listed above.
To remain healthy and happy you need to maintain a pain-free body while also addressing your psychological, emotional and social needs. Physical Therapy addresses these factors which play an important part of your overall wellbeing therefore providing a holistic approach to your treatment. Physical Therapy is central to any treatment required to restore you to a pain-free life and to optimum health.
