PT Myths vs Facts

Physical Therapy is only for injuries- MYTH

Physical therapy can help your body recover from physical injuries, however, there is much more a physical therapist can help treat.  Some skills CMI’s physical therapist works on with patients are:  

• Balance Disorders / Gait Training 

• Fall Prevention / Safety Strengthening to Upper, Lower and Trunk  

• Community Integration Training  

• Joint Mobility / ROM (Range of Motion) Improvements  

• Pain Management
