What is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy centers on movement science and human function. At Integrative Care of North Texas, our licensed physical therapists evaluate how your body moves, identify limitations or dysfunctions, and design targeted interventions to restore mobility and eliminate pain. This might involve manual therapy techniques where your therapist uses their hands to mobilize joints and soft tissues, therapeutic exercises tailored to your specific deficits, modalities like electrical stimulation to reduce pain and inflammation, and education about how to protect your body during daily activities.
The power of professional physical therapy lies in its ability to treat the source of your problem rather than just masking symptoms. Our physical therapists will conduct a thorough biomechanical assessment, examining not just where you hurt but how your entire body compensates for weakness, tightness, or improper movement patterns. Perhaps your knee pain actually stems from hip weakness, or your shoulder problem relates to poor posture developed from years at a desk. We identify these connections and address them systematically. Our physical therapy treatment progresses as you improve, constantly challenging your body to adapt and strengthen while ensuring you’re never pushed beyond safe limits for a successful recovery.
What Conditions Can Physical Therapy Help Treat?
Physical therapy is effective at treating an impressive range of conditions affecting people at every life stage. Post-surgical rehabilitation helps patients regain function after procedures like joint replacements, rotator cuff repairs, or spinal surgeries. Acute injuries—sprains, strains, fractures—heal faster and more completely with guided rehabilitation. Chronic conditions including arthritis, fibromyalgia, and persistent back or neck pain often improve dramatically when patients commit to a structured therapy program that addresses underlying movement problems and builds resilience.
Neurological conditions respond well to specialized physical therapy approaches. Patients recovering from stroke, managing Parkinson’s disease, or dealing with balance disorders benefit from targeted interventions that retrain the nervous system and improve functional independence. Physical therapy also addresses athletic injuries while helping competitors return to their sport stronger than before. Workplace injuries, repetitive strain conditions, and posture-related pain syndromes all fall within our scope of practice.
If limited movement, pain, or functional decline are affecting your quality of life, physical therapy at Integrative Care of North Texas offers practical, effective solutions.
