Physical Therapy Evaluation

A physical therapy evaluation is a thorough assessment conducted by a therapist to understand a patient's movement and functional limitations. It involves reviewing medical history, observing posture and movement patterns, and performing specific tests to identify areas of pain, weakness, or imbalance. The goal is to determine the cause of difficulties and develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at improving mobility, reducing pain, and restoring function. This evaluation helps ensure that therapy sessions are targeted and effective, setting a clear path toward recovery and better quality of life.
