Physical therapists at Baystate Rehabilitation Care evaluate flexibility, strength and ability to function. Therapists at all our locations can design and implement a treatment program to restore and maximize movement and function. Protocols are coordinated with referring physicians.

"Physical therapists are good people to know. They're educated to understand the interaction of all your body parts. Their hands-on approach begins with examination, diagnosis, and treatment of the immediate problem. Then they teach you how to take care of yourself by showing you how to do exercises and how to use your body properly to gain strength and mobility and prevent recurring injury. You'll find them advising on proper posture and body motion in the work place, treating injuries, consulting on fitness, and administering physical therapy in the home. Today physical therapists provide help for every part of the body to everyone from infants to the elderly - more than one million people every day!"                --PT Magazine, October 1999
