A Note about Physical Therapy
Physical therapists receive 6-7 years of academic training for treating musculoskeletal dysfunctions. Current PT programs offer a doctorate degree in physical therapy. Once they earn their degree, Physical Therapists are required to be licensed in the State that they practice.
At Foothills we use the following skills for your assessment and treatment:
- Therapeutic Exercise. To strengthen, stabilize, and improve coordination and balance.
- Manual Therapy. Using hands-on techniques to mobilize joints and soft tissue.
- Patient Education. So that you better understand your condition, your role in recovery and to empower you to achieve your health and wellness goals.
