Q: What do physical therapists do?
A: Physical therapists provide health care services to individuals who have impairments, functional limitations, disabilities or changes in physical function and health status resulting from injury, disease or other causes.

Physical therapists are professionally educated at the college or university level and are required to be licensed in the state in which they practice.

A: Yes! You have the right. Just as you would choose your doctor, based on word-of-mouth from friends or family, you can choose your physical therapist. Once decided on West Physical Therapy, PC, it is your option to select your personal physical therapist from any of those in our group. The therapist you choose will manage the great majority of your care.

Q: Will I hurt after therapy?
A: Most patients feel better after therapy; however, with some conditions some discomfort may be felt. This discomfort is usually short lasting and can be relieved with ice or rest.
