What is Physical Therapy?
The Physical Therapy Department at Cameron Regional Medical Center (CRMC) is dedicated to helping patients reduce pain, restore function, and prevent future injuries. Our goal is to provide a quick return to normal activities while establishing a long-term plan for continued strength and mobility.
