Physical Therapy
Physical therapy, also known as physiotherapy, is a rehabilitation treatment that helps patients restore movement, strength, and function after an injury or medical condition.
At Alliance Diagnostics and Treatments, patients work one-on-one with licensed physiotherapists who assess their physical limitations and design personalized treatment plans.
The duration of physical therapy varies depending on the severity of the injury and individual recovery goals, but it typically spans several weeks to a few months with regular sessions.
