Physical Therapy

McHenry Medical Center Offers Expert Physical Therapy

Physical therapy contributes to research, education, and the administration of health care practices in a wide range of practice settings. Hospitals, rehabilitation centers, patients’ homes, public schools, work sites in industry and involvement in athletic programs are some of the available services.

As an integral part of the health care team, physical therapy assists in the recovery process for patients overcoming injury or disease. Relearning daily activities, regaining use of affected areas, relieving pain and increasing strength, flexibility and endurance are all a part of the recovery process.

By promoting good health through family education, physical therapy assures healing continues at home. Wellness promotion and safety issues are also advanced as therapists work closely with the patient and other members of their health care team.
