Treatments and procedures
At your first session, our physical therapist will discuss your symptoms, daily activity and treatment plan. The personalized treatments are designed to improve strength, range of motion, flexibility and endurance, coordination, and/or balance.
Our therapists begin by trying to reduce pain and swelling using techniques such as manual therapy, heat, cold, water or ultrasound. Exercise is usually included in physical therapy and can include stretching, core exercises, weight lifting or walking. You might also learn exercises to do on your own at home.
Several locations for outpatient physical therapy
We have several locations near your home or work to get you back to enjoying life. At Genesis Outpatient Rehabilitation, physical therapy focuses on the neck, shoulders, upper and lower back, hips, knees and ankles.
