Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy is widely used to help people recover after an injury or surgery. Modalities such as cryotherapy, moist heat, electrical stimulation, ultrasound and TENS are used to help with pain and healing. Hands-on techniques of stretching, joint manipulation, and manual work can also be effective. Therapeutic exercise programs are used to help improve flexibility, range of motion, strength, and neuromuscular reeducation. Functional activities, education, and a home program can help to increase your physical function and safe performance of activities of daily living.
