The four main types of physical therapy
Orthopedic physical therapy treats musculoskeletal injuries like fractures, sprains, and strains, focusing on strengthening muscles and improving joint mobility.
Neurological physical therapy helps patients with stroke, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries improve coordination and movement. Geriatric physical therapy addresses arthritis and osteoporosis to help older adults maintain independence.
Cardiopulmonary physical therapy improves heart and lung function for those recovering from cardiac events or managing COPD.
