UHS Physical Therapists |
Physical therapists treat pain through movement and exercise, helping patients improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Physical therapists also educate their patients about pain, which is known to improve outcomes. This year's PT month campaign focuses on how physical therapy can be used as a safe alternative to opioids for pain management. Learn more at MoveForwardPT.com and by following #ChoosePT.
Our physical therapists have expertise in a variety of specialty areas, including sports medicine, ergonomics, manual therapy, hand therapy and orthotics. Find out more about
