Other Therapies

1. Physical Therapy
Physical conditioning is a critical part of health, whether you do or do not suffer from chronic pain.

PCPMC offers physical therapy, including modalities, massage, conditioning and Yoga, all focused for the chronic pain patient.

Oftentimes, chronic pain patients cannot tolerate land based physical therapy, which requires that the exercises be done against gravity. Aquatherapy, in which the water supports the body, offers an important alternative and is a critical part of the rehabilitation process.
