Physical therapy is a medical profession that utilizes conservative interventions – such as specific exercise and manual therapy – to help bridge the gap between a patient’s current state of physical wellbeing and where he or she wants to be. If you desire to crawl across the carpet with your grandchildren or reach into the pantry without shoulder pain, physical therapy is uniquely poised to help you accomplish these goals, without surgery, medications, or injections. At Rock Valley Physical Therapy, we design a specific treatment plan to reach your goals, facilitated via one-on-one treatment sessions.
Who Can Benefit?
Physical therapy services are for anyone struggling to complete recreational or daily activities due to pain, weakness, stiffness, or imbalance. At Rock Valley Physical Therapy, our therapists have the skillsets, knowledge, and compassion to help you understand your symptoms or impairments and walk with you through the healing process. Our holistic approach radically changes the way we view our patients. We will not view you as “elbow pain,” but as the editor who can no longer type. We will not view you as “knee pain,” but as the collegiate athlete at risk of losing a scholarship. At Rock Valley, you are more than your diagnosis. You are an individual with a unique story and a role in our community. With a commitment to excellence rooted in the heart of our company and our therapists, we provide effective treatment programs expressly designed to meet your needs.
