What is physical therapy?

Physical therapy uses active and passive exercises, manual therapies, and other treatment modalities to relieve pain, restore strength and mobility, and rehabilitate your body after sustaining an injury, having surgery, or developing a disease.

You will benefit from physical therapy if you have a physical or mental disability affecting your coordination, balance, or ability to function in daily life. The Holsman Physical Therapy team also helps patients prevent future injuries and enhance their athletic performance.

How does physical therapy improve my health?

Physical therapy strengthens muscles, promotes flexibility, and improves range of motion. But it doesn’t stop there. It also promotes healing and eases pain by boosting circulation, decreasing inflammation, and relaxing muscles.
