Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is a type of rehabilitative health service that helps you regain or improve your physical abilities. At OSS, you would work with a doctor in physical therapy over a period to help heal the pain and injury.
OSS physical therapists are an integral part of the healthcare team, restoring, optimizing movement and function after injury or disease. Physical therapists are hands-on healthcare professionals who evaluate movement dysfunction, develop care plans, use therapeutic exercises, facilitate neuromuscular control of movement, and manage pain as part of treatment for their patients.
