Physical therapists at USC will use a combination of passive physical therapy and active physical therapy (exercise) to provide pain relief and increase function. Physical therapists develop therapeutic plans to improve overall performance, strength and conditioning, balance and coordination, posture and mechanics, to help decrease the incidence of repetitive injuries.
USC’s Physical Therapy has been ranked #1 by US News and World Report since 2004 and all clinicians are Doctors of Physical Therapy.
