Understanding Physical Therapy Techniques

Physical therapy encompasses a variety of techniques aimed at improving mobility, reducing pain, and enhancing overall physical function. These techniques can include manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and modalities such as ultrasound and electrical stimulation.
