Physical Therapy in Northport, NY
What is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy involves utilizing a combination of manual skills, exercise, and modalities to help improve your quality of life. A physical therapist can help you move freely again without pain and discomfort and can even prevent further injury altogether.
Physical therapists receive specialized education in a variety of sciences including physics, human anatomy, and kinesiology (human movement), just to name a few. This allows them to understand how the body works and how to get you moving again. They know how to manage all four of the body's major systems – musculoskeletal (muscles and bones), neuromuscular (nerves and muscles), cardiovascular/pulmonary (heart and lungs), and integumentary (skin) – to restore and maximize mobility.
Whether you are suffering from an injury, living with diabetes or another disease process, or have a congenital disorder, a physical therapist can work closely with you to evaluate your condition and develop an effective, personalized plan of care. A physical therapist can help you achieve long-term results for many conditions that limit your ability to move.
