Physical Therapy
At San
Francisco Multi-Specialty Medical Group (SFMMG) we use Physical
therapists within our network of providers to evaluate and treat our
patients. The ultimate goal of physical therapy is synonymous with the
mission of SFMMG doctors: restore maximal functional independence to
each individual patient so they can get back to living life and working
pain free. To achieve this goal, SFMMG therapists my prescribe physical
modalities such as exercise, heat, cold, electricity, and massage.
Physical therapy is useful in treating many different medical disorders. Sport and orthopedic injuries, neurological and muscular illness, as well as cardiopulmonary diseases are only a few pathologic conditions which physical therapy plays a treatment role in.
Through patient and therapist interaction, physical therapy can help restore movement and function helping patients return to their prior level of independence. Physical therapy is ordered by a SFMMG physician when it is felt that such a course of treatment would be beneficial. It is offered to a wide variety of patient’s including newborn babies, children, adults, and geriatrics.
SFMMG has physical therapists located in San Francisco, Oakland, Fairfield and Fresno, please call office to set up an initial evaluation.
