Physical Therapy is a hands-on treatment of many types of soft tissue (muscle-related) disorders, particularly back pain and sports injuries. It has proven itself effective in the prevention and treatment of a wide range of musculo-skeletal conditions.
The techniques that are used are all hands-on manual techniques, that range from massage and gentle stretching to deep tissue work. Treatment involves deep soft tissue work, mobilisation techniques, MET stretching and home care exercises. The duration of a Physical Therapy treatment is spent on an individual basis. Physical Therapy is designed to work alongside rather than "instead of" conventional medical approaches.

They are all based on health science principles. It is not necessary to be referred by a doctor for treatment. Physical therapy is the hands on treatment of soft tissue injuries such as sports injuries, back and neck problems, upper and lower extremity injuries.
