Healing with Physical Therapy in Southeastern MA

Southcoast Health is a place where patients can heal and embrace better health. One of the ways that we do this is through physical therapy in Fall River, New Bedford, MA and the surrounding areas of Massachusetts through Servicios de rehabilitación de Southcoast. 

Physical therapy (or PT) offers a hands-on approach to improve strength, flexibility and movement, especially after an injury or surgery, or as part of a treatment plan for a chronic condition.

Qué esperar de la fisioterapia en Southcoast Health

Your first visit with your physical therapist will be similar to a doctor’s visit. You’ll discuss your current condition, symptoms and medical history. Your therapist will then perform an evaluation — testing and measuring your strength, range of motion, posture, balance and function. You will be actively involved in your rehab care and your therapy team will work with you to help achieve your goals in a safe and effective manner.
