Benefits of physical therapy
Physical therapy is not exclusively for people suffering from injuries or disease, it can benefit everyone. Many people resort to medication for pain that could be alleviated at least partially by the right physical therapy treatments.
Physical therapy can also improve mobility and help prevent injuries. Moriarty is here to help all members of the Cary, North Carolina community, and other nearby communities like Apex, NC, stay active and get back to their pre-injury/surgery selves.
Types of physical therapy
Moriarty has a highly trained team of doctors on staff to treat a wide variety of issues for people in Cary, North Carolina. These physical therapy specialties include, but are not limited to:
Orthopedic Physical Therapy

Surgical Rehabilitation
Orthopedic physical therapy is also frequently needed both before and after surgery. Few people are aware that orthopedic rehabilitation therapy can also be used pre-surgery. Pre-surgical orthopedic PT can help increase your recovery time and reduce post-surgery discomfort.
If you are having surgery for your injury, we can provide both pre-operative and post-operative PT. Common surgical and non-surgical injuries treated by orthopedic physical therapy can include fractures, strains, tears, and sprains. Learn more about post-surgical physical therapy in Cary NC or give us a call with your questions.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic floor therapy can be highly useful in terms of preparing for your pregnancy, which can be very demanding on the body. PT can help alleviate some of the effects stress puts on a woman’s body during and after pregnancy. Moriarty has the experience and expertise to help new and veteran mothers deal with issues like lower back pain, pelvic pain, and other pregnancy issues.
However, many people – men and women of all ages – can benefit from pelvic floor muscle strengthening. It can help with problematic issues that strike both men and women, such as incontinence.

Geriatric Care
As we age, mobility can become more difficult. Geriatric physical therapy can help the elderly improve their mobility and physical functions. This includes common issues like osteoporosis and arthritis. Geriatric physical therapy is also vital for seniors who have had surgeries like a hip replacement.
Neurological Physical Therapy
The doctors at Moriarty Physical Therapy have been highly trained to help patients with neurological diseases. With proper treatment, people suffering from neurological disease can see improvements in physical functioning along with a reduction in pain and may even require less medication. Here are some of the conditions we treat:
- MS (Multiple Sclerosis)
- ALS (Lou Gehrig Disease)
- Parkinson’s Disease

The advantages of physical therapy for athletes is well known. Every professional and university sports program has physical therapists on staff to help athletes avoid and recover from injuries.
However, preventative physical therapy isn’t exclusively for professional and collegiate athletes. Weekend warriors, amateur athletes, and anyone who likes to stay active can benefit from preventative PT.

Pediatric Physical Therapy
At Moriarty, we provide physical therapy for children of all ages. If your child needs help with the developmental stages related to mobility, physical therapy might be a good choice. While most people can sit down and read or walk down the sidewalk, it could be difficult for children to tackle these activities.
Also, our pediatric physical therapists can help with bone, muscle or genetic issues, spinal issues, and sports-related injuries, or any medical conditions resulting in the need for physical therapy or rehabiliation.
