How Dang Physical Therapy Supports Your Recovery
At Dang Physical Therapy, we believe that every patient is unique, which is why we create customized treatment plans to meet your specific needs and goals.
1. Comprehensive Evaluations
Your recovery starts with an in-depth assessment of your posture, movement patterns, and overall health. This helps us identify the underlying causes of pain or dysfunction and tailor your treatment plan accordingly.
2. Hands-On Techniques for Pain Relief
Our physical therapists use manual therapy techniques to reduce pain, improve mobility, and promote healing. This may include soft tissue mobilization, joint manipulation, or trigger point therapy.
3. Strength and Stability Training
Rebuilding strength is essential for preventing reinjury and improving function. Therapy includes exercises that target:
Core Stability: To support posture and reduce strain on the back.
Upper and Lower Body Strength: To enhance mobility and endurance.

4. Movement Retraining
Improper movement patterns can lead to chronic pain or repeated injuries. We teach you how to move efficiently and safely, whether you’re exercising, working, or engaging in everyday activities.
