PRE-PHYSICAL THERAPY

In a medical clinic, physical therapists create exercises to help my patients recover from an injury or surgery and regain physical body function. They work with patients to develop a treatment plan that enhances physical strength, flexibility, and balance. They use hands-on techniques, such as joint mobilization and manual stretching to improve range of motion, reduce pain, and restore proper movement patterns.
