Physical Therapy
What Is the Purpose of Physical Therapy?
At Fauquier Health, we offer personalized physical therapy programs to help individuals who have experienced an injury, illness or medical condition get back to their previous level of activity.
Physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapist assistants (PTAs) are licensed professionals who help identify movement problems, improve mobility, restore function and support you in staying active and moving safely.
