Physical Therapy

Physical therapy focuses on treating problems involving the muscular and skeletal systems and is frequently used as a non surgical treatment for sports injuries.  Physical therapy can be prescribed for patients as a primary treatment for their condition or as part of their recovery after surgery.

At Stamford Hospital, our physical therapists treat muscular and skeletal conditions using special exercises, stretching, ultrasound, ice and heat therapy, electrical stimulation, aquatic therapy, and biofeedback. Treatment plans are individually tailored to your needs: Our physicians will assess the severity and suspected cause before prescribing the best course of action for you.

Many times a condition can be helped by strengthening certain muscles, using exercises specifically targeted to these muscles. During an orthopedic physical therapy session, the physical therapist will teach the patient these exercises, some of which will be done at home and some of which are done with the supervision of the physical therapist.

Often the physical therapist will work an athlete on performance techniques that help prevent reinjury.

Our Physical Therapy Department is located at the Tully Health Center.
