What is physical therapy?

Physical therapy refers to a group of noninvasive treatments that improve, restore, and maintain the best bodily function possible. Essentially, physical therapy helps you to feel better, move better, and live a healthier life. 

At Healing Rehab Physical Therapy SC, the licensed physical therapists use a wide range of proven holistic modalities to restore your function and improve your wellness without medication, surgery, or other invasive approaches.

Physical therapy can treat many physical problems and conditions, including:

• Sports injuries
