Physical therapy is meant to help with a variety of injuries but patients rarely know what methods will best help their injuries. In this session participants will learn about the four main types of physical therapy and also alternative physical therapy methods. By knowing more about each method, anyone who has to visit a physical therapist will know what to expect. This session will also help explain preventative ways so that you won’t injure yourself while doing physical activities.
