Physical Therapists are neuromuscular specialists who are trained in treating
your problems, with manual therapy and soft tissue work, massage and specific
therapeutic exercises, which are not just generic, but modified depending on
your diagnosis or problem. We will not only treat your injury, but teach you
how to avoid further injury and strengthen the muscles around the joints. We
do not only treat your problem, but the cause of the problem so that it is less
likely to return. We are educated in how to treat your pain, first and foremost,
because we know that this is your biggest concern at first. Secondly we will
help you move again, because many people have anxiety about movement
after an accident and this fear of movement may cause problems, or chronic
pain down the road. We will teach you back and neck exercises that are
appropriate and guide you in how to progress them, so that you can return to a
normal life, after your car accident. See your Physical Therapist today, we are
equipped to deal with your spinal problems and our movement dysfunction
specialist is here to lead you back to work, life and play again. Call Corvallis
