Physical Therapy

Patients who are appropriate for physical therapy are those who have functional impairments resulting from back and neck injuries, neurological problems, sprains/strains and fractures, arthritis, burns, amputations, stroke, multiple sclerosis, birth defects such as cerebral palsy and spina bifida and injuries related to work, recreation, sports, and other daily activities.

Carle physical therapists work to treat disabilities and injuries of the muscles, bones and joints through a variety of physical treatments.  They focus on rehabilitating the patient and preventing further damage or pain by promoting healing and training for tissues that have been injured or strained. 

Their goal is to restore normal functioning by:  

• evaluating the patient’s current function and mobility.
• providing specialized intervention and exercise programs to improve balance, coordination, strength and flexibility.
• training the patient in common movement skills such as wheelchair function, transfers, walking and standing.
• educating the patient and their families/caregivers.
• training the patient in safe body mechanisms with home, recreational and work activities.
