What does “Physical Therapy” mean and do?
Physical therapy is the treatment or management of physical disabilities, malfunction or pain. Treatment is in the form of massage, exercise, specific joint movement, and other applications without th use of medicine, surgery, or radiation.
Who administers the therapy?
At Health Motion, we have trained Manual Therapists. These therapists are specialized in the treatment of functional impediments of the body. They gather objective information from the body's anamoty in several ways. One specific method is the palptation (touching), hence the term manual. By objective findings of the manual tests, the factors involved in the physical injuries/malfunction are determined. The physical therapist locates the adjacent symptomatic structures involved when all information is compared on an individual basis, the entry point will monitor the variations of manual techniques and several other modalities . The treatment is a gradation step toward each patient's goal and is advanced very progressively.
What is the value?
By adherence to the standard treament protocol and the use of a gradient Scale of Function (this is a step by step approach from dysfunction to optimal function) in exact and correct sequence these techniques work, invariably
Who can benefit from Physical Therapy?
