Outpatient Physical Therapy (PT)

What is Outpatient Physical Therapy?

Outpatient physical therapy refers to rehabilitation services provided to individuals who do not require overnight hospitalization and can commute to a clinic or therapy center for treatment. These services are typically sought by individuals recovering from injuries, surgeries, or medical conditions that affect their mobility and function but do not require round-the-clock medical supervision. Our outpatient physical therapy focuses on improving strength, mobility, and function through exercises, manual therapy techniques, modalities, and education tailored to the individual's needs.
