Physical Therapy – What’s physical therapy, exactly?
Physical therapy is the healthcare specialty that includes the evaluation, assessment, and treatment of individuals with limitations in functional mobility.
How physical therapy benefits seniors:
Studies show that physical therapy will help you recover from surgeries, illnesses, and injuries faster, and in a safe, professionally guided environment.

This is where Sunland’s wellness coaching comes in. We can help you create a wellness plan.
Sometimes it’s good to check with a licensed physician to ensure you are dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s so you can maintain or improve your health and be at your best! Dr. Barney will work with you to create a step by step wellness plan so you can rest easy, knowing you’re being proactive about your health.
Remember, your overall wellness relies on the balance of physical activity, nutrition, and mental well-being. If you want to ensure more good health and independence, a high level of wellness will empower you to take personal responsibility for your own good health. Another win!
