About the Program: Healthcare has always been an industry full of frequent change due to a wide variety of factors. Many recent changes in healthcare have led to an increased utilization of Physical Therapy services. Many people will seek Physical Therapy services at some time in their life to rehab an injury, prevent further injury or manage chronic conditions. Yet, few people fully understand this field of medicine. This presentation will provide information on the scope of Physical Therapy, our role in healthcare, the common conditions we treat and how to know if or when Physical Therapy may be right for, you!

1. Background information about Marshfield Clinic Health System and the services provided at the Stevens Point Center.
2. The role of Physical Therapy in healthcare and the specific services they provide.
3. Understanding the common conditions treated in Physical Therapy.
4. The ability to know when PhysicalTherapy is indicated for a variety of conditions.
