Physical Therapists hold a Bachelors, Masters or Doctorate degree in Physical Therapy. In addition to undergraduate studies, education involves 2 to 3 years of intensive medical training. PT's are able to apply their knowledge in a number of healthcare settings including: hospitals, schools, rehab centers, and orthopedic clinics for injuries of all kinds. After schooling, therapists enroll in different continuing education programs that influence their approach to healing; each clinic and therapist has their own skill level and style.

Your physical therapist will fully evaluate your skeletal alignment, muscle strengths and weakness, poor postural habits, and range-of-motion limits following injury or surgery. They will direct you through a comprehensive program of recovery that empowers you to understand your body so that you can be responsible for your optimal health. Treatment includes manual techniques for massage, skeletal alignment, stretching and others depending on your therapist. Use of ultrasound, heat, and electrical stimulation support the healing processes of your tissue. Exercise, stretching, posture, and movement education are also an important part of your learning process.

At Healing Bridge Physical Therapy, each high quality one-on-one session allows your therapist to customize and progress your program based on your individual needs and physical presentation. You can request a referral from your physician, or self-refer depending on your insurance.
