Physical Therapy
Physical therapy focuses on improving mobility, strength, coordination, and balance through personalized exercises, techniques and strategies. Therapists work to help individuals regain function in affected areas, enhance walking ability, and reduce the risk of falls, all while addressing any muscle weakness, spasticity, or range-of-motion limitations. The goal is to improve independence in daily activities and optimize overall physical functioning, often incorporating both therapeutic exercises and adaptive strategies to help patients return to their routines and participate fully in life.
