WHAT IS PHYSICAL THERAPY
Physical therapists are primary care practitioners whereby clients may directly access their services without a physician referral. A physician referral may be needed to claim your treatment costs through insurance.
The physical therapy profession is shaped by scientific evidence and the education and competencies of the physical therapists delivering the services.
The goal of Physical Therapy is to improve quality of life by:
> promoting optimal mobility, physical activity and overall health and wellness
> preventing disease, injury and disability
> managing acute and chronic conditions, activity limitations, and participation restrictions
Physical Therapy aims to maintain optimal functional independence and physical performance by treating injury with therapeutic exercise programs and other interventions. Education and support programs are used to prevent re-occurrence, re-injury or functional decline.
