Physical Therapy
Whether you are recovering from a broken bone, muscle injury or surgery, regaining mobility, strength, flexibility and endurance are a key part of your recovery. Every individual has different goals and expectations in recovery, so rehabilitation specialists provide a customized plan that incorporates the unique goals and abilities of each person.
Physical therapists provide:
-
Education about your condition or injury, the healing process and how to prevent injury during recovery and in the future.
-
Various therapies as needed (such as ice, heat, massage or ultrasound) and hands-on assistance with exercises and stretches. Therapists will also provide instructions for strength and flexibility exercises to do at home.
-
Motivation, support and assistance throughout your recovery.
The rehabilitation team includes knowledgeable, caring professionals who are dedicated to providing quality care and support, and helping you return to the activities you enjoy as quickly as possible.
All patients will require a physician’s written prescription for physical therapy. Orders may be faxed to us at (601) 936-2264 or brought to the first physical therapy session. Treatment cannot begin without this prescription. Appointments can be made by calling during our office hours of 7:30 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
