Frequently Asked Questions
Why is physical therapy so important?
Physical therapy is critical to the successful restoration of musculoskeletal function. Some of the many benefits it offers are:

Accelerated healing
Reduction of swelling and inflammation
Increased range of motion.
Minimal scar tissue formation
Effective stress management
Prevention of depression
Skipping physical therapy not only has an adverse effect on your injured tissues, but the rest of your body as well. Lack of activity makes you stiffer, weaker, and less able to cope, but expert physical therapy helps keep your body healthy without overstressing or aggravating your injury.
