In what ways can a physical therapist help me?
Physical therapists are experts in improving function and performance related to your ability to move. They can fully evaluate how you move and identify muscles that may be weak, motions in your joints or muscles that may lack normal flexibility and movements you might be performing in a less than optimal manner, which might predispose you to injury. After an evaluation, a physical therapist can set up a treatment plan to correct your areas of weakness, imbalance, inflexibility, or lack of coordination.
