Dr. Bill Bails, Coastal Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine, has been working to give people back function after injuries for the past 14 years. “I had been in the field for awhile and I was very interested in a different kind of care that I was giving to my patient,” Dr. Bails says, “One of the biggest things is just making sure that the patient is an individual – they’re not just a number.” In 2008, he opened Coastal Physical Therapy.
Dr. Bails puts treatment plans together after evaluating the patient. He uses a variety of techniques to get the patient back normal function. He helps a patient get range of motion back before moving on to strengthening muscles. Dr. Bails uses the saltwater pool which helps warms up your joints and helps unload the joints.
The pool also helps Dr. Bails help perform different traction techniques. It helps separates the bone slightly and helps bring the disk back into the center. Getting to know his patients and helping them get back to normal, everyday life is Dr. Bails favorite part of the job.
