Physical Therapists study how the body moves and functions. It is important to know that pain, injury, and surgery alter these normal patterns. While surgery can change your anatomic structures, it does not restore healthy movement. It is generally not enough just to return to usual activity. Efficient movement is complex. Your body and brain need to be retrained to function correctly. This can be accomplished with the expertise of a physical therapist.
