A Little Background On Physical Therapy
The origins of Physical Therapy as a Profession began in the late 1900’s in Great Britain. During WWII and a nationwide polio epidemic during the 1940s and 1950s, physical therapy became widely used in the care of patients.
Physical therapy has since developed from basic treatment of function and movement to more specialized disciplinary care.
Physical Therapy is considered an individualized “hands on” conservative treatment method that primarily focuses on pain relief, promoting healing, developing and restoring maximum movement and function, and preventing impairment and disability. Physical Therapy also provides preventive exercise programs to promote and maintain general health and wellness, physical fitness, and postural and body mechanic awareness.
Physical Therapists are licensed health care professionals that provide health care services to patients of all ages with various medical problems and other health related conditions that limit their ability to perform functional activities in their daily lives. Such conditions include neck and low back pain, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, degenerative disk disease, impingement syndromes, sciatica and other conditions in relation to cardiovascular, pulmonary, and neurological dysfunctions.
