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. 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 Sport and Spine Physical
