Why Should I See a Physical Therapist?

Physical therapists are health care professionals who diagnose and manage individuals of all ages who have injuries, medical problems or other health-related conditions that limit their ability to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives. Physical therapists use hands-on techniques, exercise, education and therapeutic modalities to treat a wide range of problems including:

Total knee and total hip replacements.
Spine conditions including persistent headaches.
Back pain during pregnancy.
Sports injuries.
Work related injuries.
Balance disturbance.
Tendinitis and plantar fasciitis.

Why Should I See an Occupational Therapist?

Occupational therapists are health care professionals who work with individuals of all ages who need specialized assistance to lead independent lives due to physical or developmental problems. Common interventions are to help individuals with neurological or orthopedic hand weakness or injuries regain function for self-care, leisure, household and work tasks. An occupational therapist may also work with improving cognitive skills and may suggest adaptive equipment to improve an individual's independence.
