Physical Therapy
Your primary care provider may suggest physical therapy if you've had an injury or illness that makes it hard to perform daily tasks. Physical therapy helps people of all ages improve their ability to move and function. Physical therapy can help:
- Reduce or eliminate pain
- Improve mobility
- Assist in the recovery or prevent a sports injury or surgery
- Improve balance and prevent falls
- Assist with child development and mobility
- Manage women's health conditions
- Manage age-related issues
Some of the specialty treatment options offered by the Crossing Rivers Health Physical Therapy team include:
- Birth to 3
- Dry needling
- LSVT® programs for Parkinson's therapy
- Pelvic floor therapy
- Vestibular therapy
The primary goal of physical therapy is exercise and movement. These unique therapies may be used in conjunction with other treatments to create a comprehensive plan customized for you. To determine if therapy would be an option, talk with your primary care provider or contact Crossing Rivers Health Rehabilitation and Therapy.
