Description

Physical therapy is a branch of care that focuses on restoring and rehabilitating one’s physical health. It is a conservative method addressing the treatment, healing, prevention and education of injuries and physical impairments. At Adams Physical Therapy, we provide hands-on therapy for a broad range of conditions and disorders. We provide service to all age groups from pediatric to geriatric and all ages in between. We specialize in the treatment of orthopedic conditions and we are well equipped to address both neurological and various types of geriatric issues. 

Interns will receive supervision, training and mentorship from our trained, experienced physical therapists. The learning goals for the intern are to first hand witness the methods used to provide rehabilitation for a variety of issues as the staff wholistically evaluates the patient. The intern will be exposed to how we treat the underlying source of the physical health need and the various hands-on care, quick-release techniques, targeted-therapeutic exercise, and the use of applied modalities to eliminate pain, promote healing while striving to restore the patient’s body’s function and movement.
