Physical Therapy Services at Touchette Regional

What is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy services are offered to patients of all ages who need assistance to move and function. From athletes to geriatrics, dedicated therapists work one-on-one with patients, helping them to overcome limitations and achieve full recovery potential.

What is a Physical Therapist?
Physical Therapists are health care providers who are experts in the examination and treatment of problems the affect peoples' abilities to move and function. The abilities are driven by four major systems in the body-musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, cardiovascular/pulmonary, and integumentary-and PT's are educated and experienced to manage all four. We treat patients with acute (sudden) injuries, neurological (brain and spine) disorders, post-surgery, or chronic (long-term) conditions.

The Importance of Movement and Function
The ability to stand or sit upright and to move your arms and legs without difficulty or pain is an important component of your health. People of all ages need to move and function, PT's work with patients and clients from newborns to the very aged. PT's don't confine their talent to treating people who are ill or injured. A large part of a PT's program is directed at preventing injury and loss of movement.
