Physical therapy: The goal of physical therapy is to improve mobility, restore function, reduce pain, and prevent further injury. A variety of techniques, including exercises, stretches, traction, electrical stimulation, and massage, are used during physical therapy sessions. Although physical therapy has not been studied as a possible treatment for people with Apert syndrome, it has been suggested that it may help people with syndactyly
(webbing or complete joining of fingers and or toes) improve the function of their hands and feet.Natural Standard Monograph, Copyright © 2008 (www.naturalstandard.com).
