Physical Therapy
Physical Therapists specialize in the evaluation and treatment of all joints and soft tissues (muscles and ligaments) of the body including the back. Whether your pain originates from injury or overuse, or if you are recovering from a surgical procedure, Physical Therapists can help you get back on your feet.
Physical Therapists use various physical agents such as heat, cold, ultrasound, whirlpool and electrical stimulation to decrease pain, swelling and spasm. Exercises are an important part of rehabilitation to strengthen muscles that are weakened and to promote range of motion of body parts that have lost mobility. Soft tissue mobilization is a fairly new procedure that allows therapists to work on joints and soft tissue to achieve pain relief and increased mobility and function.
BAMC Physical Therapists work closely with the heated therapeutic pool and the fitness center. The warm water environment of the heated pool is very conducive to increasing motion and reducing pain. The equipment of the fitness center allows the patient to perform a wider variety of exercises in a controlled environment, gaining increased muscle function and strength
At BAMC, we have 4 Physical Therapists and 1 Physical Therapist Assistant that see patients on a 5-day per week basis. Office hours are from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM Monday to Friday. Besides seeing patients in our outpatient therapy department, the therapists also provide treatment to inpatients and skilled nursing care patients.
