It’s easier than you think to hurt yourself while performing everyday tasks, activities, or while on the job. You can slip and sustain a nasty fall, develop carpal tunnel syndrome, or simply get hurt in a fluke accident. Whatever happens, it’s important for you to get the physical rehabilitation you need for either acute or chronic injuries to continue enjoying the highest possible quality of life.
When you meet with our occupational therapists at Function First Physical Therapy in Shreveport and Bossier City, we’ll perform an evaluation and develop a personalized occupational therapy plan to help you get stronger, feel better, and return to doing the things that you want and need to do pain-free.

There’s nothing normal about experiencing pain during physical activity. Generally, the pain you’re feeling is the result of an injury. It could be an old ache that you’ve learned to live with over the years, a new injury that you’re dealing with, or even a mysterious pain whose origin is difficult to pinpoint.
If you’ve sustained an injury and it’s affecting your mobility, flexibility, or quality of life, our team of licensed physical therapists can help. With more than five decades of combined experience to draw from, the Function First Physical Therapy team can help you treat your pain and gain new independence in movement.
We understand that your body is a highly interconnected system, and one injury can affect your entire body. That’s why we utilize a holistic approach to treatment, focusing on correcting the dysfunction rather than simply decreasing the symptoms. To best achieve this, we offer specialized one-on-one treatment plans, only booking one patient per therapist at a time, usually in hour-long sessions.
What are the benefits of our one-on-one physical therapy treatment sessions?
- More individualized treatment time per session can mean fewer visits needed (depending on the pathology)
- Each session allows more time for physical therapists to modify interventions in real-time, rather than waiting to work on it “next session”
- Patients receive better education and a clearer understanding of underlying issues
- Our physical therapists have the time to treat each patient as a whole person, not just a “back” or “hip”

The ability to communicate effectively is important. If a person cannot successfully describe what they need, where they hurt, or what is wrong in general, emergencies are much more likely to occur. Speech therapy is often necessary when someone is recovering from the debilitating consequences of a stroke or dementia, and it may also be necessary after a head injury. No matter the cause, if your loved one is having difficulty communicating, know that there are a number of consequences to ignoring these speech and communication issues, and you may need to consider speech therapy.
At Function First Physical Therapy in Shreveport, LA, we’re proud to offer effective speech therapy services for our clients. After a comprehensive speech therapy evaluation has been performed on you or your loved one, our speech therapists can determine if the problem is language-based and how to best address it. From there, we will build a comprehensive, personalized speech therapy plan to help you overcome speaking challenges and regain your voice. Contact us today to schedule your evaluation!
