Physical Therapy

Physical Therapists Shawnee Mission, KS

Physical therapists are healthcare professionals who offer cost-effective treatment to improve mobility and relieve pain, reduce the need for surgery and prescription drugs, allowing patients to participate in a recovery plan designed for their specific needs.

The main goal of physical therapy is to restore your function and mobility, and eliminate or minimize your pain so you can get back to your active lifestyle. People everywhere are experiencing the transformative effect physical therapy can have on their daily lives. In fact, as experts in the way the body moves, physical therapists help people of all ages and abilities reduce pain, improve or restore mobility, and stay active and fit throughout life.

A customized physical therapy program can help individuals return to their prior level of functioning, and encourage activities and lifestyle changes that can help prevent further injury and improve overall health and well-being. Primary care doctors often refer patients for physical therapy at the first sign of a problem, since it is considered a traditional approach to managing problems.

If your doctor prescribes physical therapy, you will be paired with a therapist who will help you to improve your strength, endurance, mobility, and overall physical condition. The therapist will evaluate your baseline strengths, limitations, endurance, balance, and other factors. This information will be used to design an individualized treatment plan. A variety of treatment modalities may be incorporated, such as hot and cold therapy, ultrasound, and manual therapy. Adjustments will be made as needed, based on your progress.
