Physical therapy is a non-surgical, highly interactive treatment of an injury or condition. Physical therapist can educate you about your problem so that you can help yourself return to your daily activities. An evaluation determines the therapist's approach to solving your condition. The treatment technique and number of sessions will depend on your diagnosis. Treatment sessions last approximately 45 minutes and are conducted on a one-on-one basis. You may receive hands-on techniques, movement and posture education, home exercises and modalities.
