What does physical therapy do?

Physical therapy helps people reduce pain, restore movement, improve strength, and return to daily activities safely. It addresses how the body moves as a whole rather than treating isolated symptoms. Physical therapists use exercises, hands-on techniques, and education to correct movement patterns and improve function. Physical therapy is effective for injury recovery, post-surgical rehab, chronic pain management, and performance enhancement. The goal is long-term resilience, not short-term relief.
