What is Physical Therapy?
Physical Therapy is the treatment of physical dysfunction or injury by the use of therapeutic exercise and other forms of treatment intended to restore or facilitate normal function or development.
Physical Therapy, in the State of Connecticut, is considered part of essentially needed medical care.
Physical Therapy promotes healing, working towards full recovery or assists patients in adapting to physical disabilities.
Although Physical Therapy is most commonly associated with the use of modalities like hot or cold packs, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, massage and/or whirlpool this is a small part of what we do.
The therapists at ECRC-PT provide patient care based on advanced and specialized training and encompasses hands-on evaluation, individualized personal care, one-on-one patient treatment, and patient education. Our staff encourages full participation in your treatment which is more likely to lead to a successful outcome.
As a result, our clients see a reduction in symptoms and an increase in mobility, strength, balance, and coordination.
