Physical Therapy

What Is Physical Therapy?

Although Physical Therapy is most commonly associated with the use of modalities like hot or cold packs, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, massage and/or whirlpool treatment, this is only a part of what we do…Physical Therapy at The Water’s Edge encompasses much more! Hands-on evaluation and individualized personal care, manual therapy, one-on-one patient education and encouragement to fully participate in your treatment plan are part of the care we offer. At The Water’s Edge the level of advanced competency and skill of our staff will enable our clients to decrease pain, build strength, increase motion and endurance, and improve posture, balance and coordination.

If your first experience at The Water’s Edge is in our Physical Therapy Center, then we know you need specialized care and we are absolutely committed to providing you a pathway to recovery and a renewed ability to enjoy the daily lifestyle you desire.

Our mission is to be with you every step of the way. Although we will miss you when you are gone, it is our goal to care for you as long as you need us and to then, send you safely and healthfully on your way!
