Hands-On Physical Therapy
At some physical therapy centers, the physical therapists tell you what exercise to do and then walk away. Our physical therapists always keep a close and careful watch on you to make sure that you are performing every repetition of every exercise properly and so that you don’t injure yourself by performing an exercise or stretch incorrectly.
Make sure to have one of our physical therapists teach and observe you do each exercise before trying them at home to avoid injury. We look forward to helping you achieve the mobility that you desire. With arthritis, joints become stiff without use so the faster you get into physical therapy, the easier it will be to retain and maintain movement.
