Physical therapists often see people with several problems. The prime concern becomes sorting out top priorities. We need to think multi-dimensionally, rather than in a linear fashion. No more simply, "Do this exercise and your ankle will feel better." Our priority becomes determining which techniques give the most benefits in the least amount of time.
Physical therapists who previously screened only the muscle and joint systems have broadened their approach to include examining the connective tissue system as it relates to the organs, and the muscular system as it relates to the vascular system and the lymphatic system. They now understand how the supportive tissues influence the immune system, which is critical for the health of the individual. Many techniques stimulate the person’s own healing process in a gentle manner, so as to cause no further damage to the system.
At Friendship Heights Rehabilitation Center treatment is individualized and is designed to maximize functional outcomes.
