Physical Therapy is the science (and art) of getting the most out of your body.
If you have pain, your physical therapist will help you figure out why, then give you the tools you need to correct it.
The best physical therapists believe in manual therapy, which involves hands on healing techniques, in conjunction with therapeutic exercise.
The best patients understand that while their therapist works hard for them, they must also work hard for themselves and perform the prescribed exercises to see the best results.
