Wellness/Prevention/Fitness
Physical therapy services are provided to individuals with a focus on wellness. This approach to healthcare emphasizes preventing illness and injury and promoting healthy lifestyle, as opposed to emphasizing treatment of diseases.
Industrial/Occupational Health
Physical therapy services are provided to individuals primarily to help them return to work or for the purpose of enhancing employee health, improving safety, and increasing productivity in the workplace.
