Certain illnesses and injuries can cause you to lose range of motion, mobility, and strength which can lead to pain or the inability to perform activities you enjoy. Whether you undergo surgery or not, physical therapy is a critical component of ensuring you make a full recovery from an injury.

Reduce pain and inflammation
Improve surgical outcomes by addressing pain, scar tissue, strength, range of motion, and more
Help fix faulty movement patterns by addressing underlying issues that are causing pain
Make corrections to movement patterns to prevent ongoing problems
