Physical Therapy - Rehabilitative Services

PHYSICAL THERAPYREHABILITATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT | FIRST FLOOR

Physical therapy includes diagnosis and management of movement dysfunction and enhancement of physical and functional abilities; restoration, maintenance, and promotion of optimal physical function, optimal fitness and wellness, and optimal quality of life as it relates to movement and health; and prevention of the onset, symptoms, and progression of impairment, functional limitations, and disabilities that may result from diseases, disorders, conditions, or injuries.

Physical therapists are healthcare professionals who maintain, restore, and improve movement, activity, and health enabling an individual to have optimal functioning and quality of life, while ensuring patient safety and applying evidence to provide efficient and effective care. Physical therapists evaluate, diagnose, and manage individuals of all ages who have impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. In addition, physical therapists are involved in promoting health, wellness, and fitness through risk factor identification and the implementation of services to reduce risk, slow the progression of or prevent functional decline and disability, and enhance participation in life situations.

In addition to providing habilitation and rehabilitation services, as well as prevention and risk reduction services, physical therapists also collaborate with other healthcare professionals to address patient needs, increase communication, and provide efficient and effective care. Physical therapists also provide consulting, education, research, and administration services across the continuum of healthcare settings.
