Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Rehabilitation in Arlington, VA

Physical therapist working with a female patient

Physical therapists are highly trained professionals who provide personalized care to individuals with medical ailments or health-related issues that limit their movement or ability to perform everyday tasks. Physical techniques, such as stretching, exercise and massage, are utilized instead of—or as a complement to—pain medication and surgery. The focus is on healing and strengthening the body to alleviate pain, enhance function, build endurance and prevent injuries.

Although different injuries require a different treatment approach, the key components of any physical therapy program include education about the cause of the problem, exercise to improve function and full participation by the patient.
