Stretching, strengthening, mobility, and flexibility exercises are performed under the supervision and guidance of the physical therapist and geared towards each individual's specified needs

​

Massaging the affected tissue by hand will decrease muscle spasms, decrease scar tissue formation, increase circulation and nutrition on the tissues

Decreased balance can lead to falls and injury, slowed motor responses, and reduction of muscle flexibility and strength. Balance training will aim to improve physical function, reduce the fear and risk of falling, and improve overall quality of life 

The effects of poor posture can include back pain, headaches, spinal impairment, joint degeneration, rounded shoulders, fatigue, etc. Therapists can help you understand the risk of poor posture by addressing it with stretching and strengthening, but also by identifying the root of the problem

Joint replacements or soft tissue surgical repair often require intensive and specified physical therapy to improve balance and strength, lessen scar tissue formation, decrease pain and swelling, and reduce the likelihood of secondary issues

Ultrasound, hot and cold packs, ice massage, and electrical stimulation are utilized to promote healing and loosening of tight and/or painful muscles and joints
