Physical Therapy
What is Physical Therapy?
Physical Therapy, often abbreviated as PT, is a type
of treatment you may need when when health problems
make it hard to move about or for different body
systems to work properly. PT can help you move better,
relieve pain, improve balance as well as restore your
physical function and fitness level.
The goal of PT is to help you progress towards a better
quality of life.
What does a physical therapist do?
Your physical therapist will examine you and make an
individualized treatment plan. Depending on your
health problem, he or she will help you with flexibility,
strength, endurance, coordination, and/or balance.
What should you look for in a therapist?
You'll want a therapist who has experience
with your specific and personal health
problems. Some therapists are board-certified
in areas such as orthopaedics, geriatrics, and
neurology, and may offer even more
specialized care.
Occupational Therapy
What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy, often abbreviated as OT, is a
treatment of any physical or mental problem that
interferes with your ability to perform daily living
activities. OT gives you the "skills for the job of living"
necessary for an independent and satisfying life.
The primary goal of OT is to enable you to work with or
around your limitations either alone, with limited help,
or with the use of devices.
What does an occupational therapist do?
Your occupational therapist will complete a
comprehensive evaluation of the following: range of
motion, strength, sensation, coordination, skin and/or
wound condition, pain, swelling and functional
postures and body mechanics. He or she will design a
treatment plan to fit your personal needs. Treatment
will also include education about the cause and anatomy
of your injury and often a home program to maintain
your progress.
Speech Therapy
What is Speech Therapy?
A speech therapist (speech-language pathologist)
assesses, diagnoses and provides therapeutic
interventions for individuals experiencing speech,
language, cognitive, communication, voice or
swallowing difficulties.
The goal is to help you communicate more effectively
and ensure safe eating and drinking.
What does a speech therapist do?
Speech therapists seek to reduce the effects of
communication and/or swallowing difficulties. They will
create an individualized treatment plan to help you
meet your goals.
