Rehabilitation Therapy

There are two primary categories of Rehabilitation therapy:

Rehabilitation Therapy care is the treating of injuries or disabilities making use of physical activities such as exercise and massage along with mechanical types of therapy such as application of electrical stimulation, heat, water or ultrasound. Rehabilitation therapy treatment focuses on building up the patients muscle tissue and reducing any kind of related discomfort. If a patient is too weak to exercise on his or her own, a qualified physical therapist may gently move the patient's arms or legs to help build strength. Patients with more physical strength may lift weights to build muscle. At Physical Therapy Specialists the objective of rehabilitation therapy is to assist you to return to the most healthy and active way of living possible.
