What is physical therapy?

Physical therapists provide therapy services to patients for a wide range of conditions, including orthopedic, medically complex, neuromuscular, autoimmune, and musculoskeletal dysfunctions. We play a vital role in restoring both function and movement. Our goal is to decrease pain, dysfunction, and fall risks while improving balance, safety awareness, body mechanics, strength, endurance, flexibility, gait(walking), and range of motion.

At Exceed Physical Therapy, we prioritize your safety and well-being. Here’s how we approach treatment:

Comprehensive Assessment: We start by conducting a thorough evaluation to understand your specific needs and areas of concern.

Customized Programs: We believe in personalized care. Based on the assessment, we create tailored exercise routines that target the unique challenges and will help meet your needs and goals.

Expert Guidance: Our experienced therapists provide hands-on support and guidance throughout the exercises, ensuring each move is performed correctly and safely.

Building Confidence: We’re not just focused on physical therapy; we aim to boost self-confidence and independence, empowering you to take control of your life.

Physical therapy looks different for everyone and includes a combination of the following:

• Therapeutic Exercises: These exercises are designed to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination. They can include stretches, strength training, and aerobic conditioning.
• Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques, such as massage, joint mobilization, and manipulation, to relieve pain and improve mobility.
• Modalities: Heat, cold, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and other technologies are used to reduce pain and inflammation and promote healing.
• Education and Training: Physical therapists educate patients on their conditions, treatment plans, and ways to prevent future injuries.
• Functional Training: Training patients to perform activities of daily living more effectively and safely. This can include gait training, balance exercises, and techniques to improve coordination.
