Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy focuses on restoring movement, strength, and function after injury, surgery, or the onset of a chronic condition. At Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Center of Brooklyn, physical therapy is offered as part of a broader range of rehabilitation services for patients in Brooklyn, NY, addressing pain, limited mobility, and weakness that can follow an accident, illness, or long period of inactivity.

What Physical Therapy Addresses

• Pain and stiffness — from muscles, joints, or soft tissue affected by injury or overuse.
• Reduced mobility — difficulty walking, bending, or performing daily tasks after surgery or injury.
• Muscle weakness — loss of strength following inactivity, illness, or a musculoskeletal condition.
• Balance concerns — unsteadiness that raises the risk of falls.

Supporting Tools On Site

Physical therapy at this practice can draw on additional on-site resources when appropriate for a patient's plan of care.

• Biodex Balance Program — used to assess and train balance and stability.
• Cold Laser Therapy — a non-invasive option to help reduce pain and inflammation.
• Spinal Decompression — used to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves when back or nerve-related symptoms are involved.

Getting Started

Physical therapy is typically paired with an evaluation to identify the source of pain or limitation before a treatment plan is developed. Because physical therapy is one part of a wider set of rehabilitation services offered here, it can be coordinated with other care as needed.
