Physical therapy is a licensed healthcare profession that restores movement, relieves pain, and helps you recover from injury, surgery, or illness without medication or surgery. At Fukuji & Lum, a licensed physical therapist identifies the root cause of your problem and builds a personalized, hands-on treatment plan, working with you one-on-one at every visit.

Physical therapy can reduce pain, restore strength and mobility, speed recovery after surgery or injury, and help you avoid surgery or long-term medication. Research shows that rough 83% of physical therapy patients experienced measurable pain improvement following treatment.

A typical visit includes hands-on manual therapy, guided therapeutic exercise, and education tailored to your condition and goals. Your therapist works directly with you the entire session.
