What is Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy (PT) uses evidence-based assessments, exercise techniques, joint mobilization, and health education to treat conditions such as chronic or acute pain, soft tissue injuries, arthritis, physical impairments, and gait disorders typically of musculoskeletal, and neurological origins. Physical therapy improves your physical functions through examination, diagnosis, prognosis, physical intervention, rehabilitation and patient education.

At South Central Rehabilitation Services our goal is to improve muscle function, gain flexibility, find pain relief, relieve stress, and reduce the risk of re-injury over time with physical therapy. To meet the needs of our community, we offer 4 convenient locations – Laurel, North Laurel, Ellisville and Taylorsville.
