Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need physical therapy?
Practically, pain can be classified into two different types - visceral and somatic. Visceral pain emerges from the internal organs. Somatic pain emerges from structures that include the skeletal and muscular system. Identifying the origin of pain can often be a difficult and confusing process.
