Physical therapy is often used to reduce pain and restore mobility so a patient can return to all daily activities without limitations. In many cases, physical therapy can decrease the use of pain medication without expensive surgery. An expert physical therapist can help you improve and reach your full recovery.
We work with all types of varying ailments. Some of these include:
Orthopedic Injuries
Spinal Pain & Injuries
Sports Injuries
Pediatrics
Arthritis
Muscle Imbalances
Post Operative Care
Geriatrics
Work Injuries
Postural Conditions
Neuromuscular Disorders
Orthopedic rehab is a specialized practice that focuses on prevention, evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation, and performance enhancement of the physically-active individual dealing with prior injuries, chronic pain, and surgical history.
Prevention
Orthopedic rehab can prevent the need for surgery overall if implemented early enough. By focusing on strength the muscles around specific joints and correcting harmful movements and habits, our practice can potentially prevent the need for greater measures when dealing with orthopedic pain.
Evaluation
Our PT has seen various orthopedic injuries and is experienced in evaluation the best course of action to improve quality of life and overall body performance. Assessing both surgical and nonsurgical injuries, our practice can determine proper exercises and treatment plans for the best recovery.
Life Enhancement
Orthopedic Rehabilitation can ensure that quality of life is restored after a traumatic injury or surgery. By building a strong foundation in both strength and endurance, our treatment plans ensure that you can return to your favorite activities with reduced pain and improved peace of mind.
Sports Physical Therapy is a specialized practice that focuses on prevention, evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation, and performance enhancement of the physically-active individual.
Prevention
The practice of sports physical therapy includes those interventions that assist the athletically-active individual in preventing injuries and then, if an injury occurs, continuing their pursuits with minimal disruptions. Areas of this practice include pre-participation screening, equipment recommendations, and cardiovascular fitness programs designed to assist in a safe and unremarkable return to activity.
Evaluation
Sports physical therapists are highly skilled in evaluation of active and chronic injuries. A hallmark of this practice is the assessment of surgical and non-surgical neuromusculoskeletal injuries. Included in this is the functional assessment of the individual post-injury to assist in a safe return to activity.
Performance Enhancement
Sports physical therapists assist athletically-active individuals to improve their performance in a variety of ways. The foundation of performance enhancement is provided by a thorough evaluation of the neuromusculoskeletal and the cardiovascular-pulmonary systems. The results of this evaluation are compiled to outline strengths and weaknesses in an individual's physical profile. This profile can then be matched to the individual's specific athletic activity. Areas of deficiency in flexibility, muscular strength and endurance, and in the aerobic/anaerobic systems can be outlined in a specific training regime. Follow-up evaluations can determine further training program changes.
Joint and Muscle Therapy is a specialized area of physical therapy that focuses on the prevention, evaluation, treatment, and functional enhancement of individuals experiencing musculoskeletal pain or movement limitations.
Prevention
This practice includes strategies to prevent joint and muscle injuries before they occur, as well as to reduce the risk of re-injury. Therapists may address posture, ergonomics, and movement mechanics, and implement strength and flexibility programs to improve body alignment and joint integrity in daily activities.
Evaluation
Therapists are trained to identify dysfunction in joint mobility, muscle performance, and movement patterns. A thorough evaluation considers both acute and chronic conditions, using orthopedic tests, movement analysis, and patient history to create a personalized care plan.
Treatment & Recovery
Joint and Muscle Therapy includes a variety of hands-on techniques and modalities to reduce pain and inflammation while promoting healing. Treatments may include soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, dry needling, ultrasound, and TENS/E-stim, combined with therapeutic exercise to restore strength, balance, and control.
Balance and Fall Prevention is a specialized focus within physical therapy aimed at reducing fall risk, improving stability, and increasing confidence in movement—particularly for older adults or those with neurological or vestibular conditions.
Prevention
This area of care emphasizes early identification of fall risk factors such as muscle weakness, poor posture, impaired vision, or environmental hazards. Preventive strategies include education, home safety recommendations, strength training, and coordination exercises to promote safe mobility before incidents occur.
Evaluation
Physical therapists use evidence-based assessments to evaluate gait, balance, reaction time, and neuromuscular control. These tools help identify specific deficits and guide the creation of individualized treatment plans.
Treatment & Recovery
Therapy includes targeted interventions such as balance retraining, gait stabilization, core strengthening, and vestibular exercises. Assistive devices, when appropriate, may also be incorporated to support safety and mobility.
The ultimate goal is to restore confidence and improve quality of life. Through guided progression of exercises and real-life movement training, patients develop greater stability, independence, and reduced fear of falling in daily environments.
What is physical therapy?
Physical Therapy (PT), also known as physiotherapy, combines passive modalities with therapeutic exercise to rehabilitate the spine and other parts of the body. Passive modalities include heat/cold therapy, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, massage, and joint mobilization. These modalities are not the sole treatment, but supplement therapeutic exercise. Active therapy, or therapeutic exercise includes stretching, strengthening, and postural modification to rehabilitate the spine and prevent re-injury.
What is the purpose of physical therapy?
The purpose of physical therapy is to help the patient return to active life as quickly as possible. Therapy strives to reduce pain, increase flexibility, range of motion, and function, build strength, and correct posture.
Physical therapy is often prescribed for patients following spine surgery, to treat soft tissue trauma, nerve inflammation/injury, muscle spasms, fractures, arthritis, and many other problems.
Patient education is an important component in physical therapy. Patients learn about how their spine works, proper body mechanics, common disorders and their causes, benefits of good posture, importance of physical fitness and its relationship to injury and disease prevention.
What does the physical therapist do?
The physical therapist talks to the patient and evaluates their condition by testing joint motion, muscle strength, cardiovascular function, reflexes, and functional skills. If a physician referred the patient, the therapist will review the prescription along with the patient's records. After necessary information has been gathered, the physical therapist designs a treatment plan to fit the patient's needs and goals. The therapist and patient will work together as a team toward wellness.
