Most of our patients report that physical therapy at Bethesda Physiocare is quite different from what they have experienced in other clinics.
At Bethesda Physiocare, our physical therapists examine each patient thoroughly, and develop individualized treatment plans. While we have several clinical specialties, including craniomandibular physical therapy, performing arts physical therapy, pelvic pain/dysfunction and issues of continence, and chronic pain physical therapy, our physical therapists are highly skilled in all areas of musculoskeletal dysfunction.
During the initial phase of physical therapy, the emphasis is often on pain management and self care skills. As soon as possible, patients progress towards more functional training, which may include specific strengthening exercises, core stabilization, posture training, and aerobic activities. Our ultimate goals are to increase the activity tolerance in individuals suffering acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, and to return patients back to a functional life style, work, and recreational activities.
