Physical Therapy is the unique health care specialty that works with individuals encountering a particular movement disorder. Physical Therapy is delivered by a licensed Physical Therapist initiated with a comprehensive evaluation to identify problem areas that are facilitating the disorder and/or problem. Physical therapy can incorporate a variety of strategies to improve the clients function and reach their goals. These strategies may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, balance training, body mechanics, flexibility, home exercises as well as a variety of modalities such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, heat, or cold.

Occupational therapists help people of all ages participate in the things they want and need to do through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations). Unlike other professions, occupational therapy helps people function in all of their environments and addresses the physical, psychological, and cognitive aspects of their well-being through engagement in occupation. Occupational therapy services typically include: an individualized evaluation to determine the person’s goals and customized intervention to improve the person’s ability to perform daily activities and reach the goals.

Manual therapy is one of our most effective tools and all of our therapists are highly trained in a number of approaches to help improve your overall function.

Dry needling is a treatment approach offered by our certified therapists. Muscle trigger points are groups of small “knots” or spasms inside a muscle. These active trigger points frequently are sources of local pain as well as referred pain to other parts of the body. The physical therapist identifies these trigger points and specifically treats and releases them with needling. Dry needling uses a sterile small solid (no medication delivered) filament needle aimed at the identified trigger point to release and alleviate the trigger point tension. This allows for a return of normal muscle tension and circulation and ultimately alleviation of the pain.

Medical Exercise Therapy
Medical exercise therapy takes into account that injured tissue reacts differently than healthy tissue. This therapy is the integration of specific equipment and treatment strategies to maximize soft tissue healing. Fitness facility equipment is typically not designed for injured tissue and can make injuries worse. Medical exercise therapy allows for the rehab of tendons, ligaments, disc and other injured tissues without overloading and/or flaring up soft tissues. The integration of medical exercise therapy is very patient friendly and dosed specifically to the patient and the injured or recovering tissue.

A Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) is an occupational therapist or physical therapist who has successfully passed a comprehensive test of advanced clinical skills and theory in upper quarter rehabilitation. Hand therapy is the art and science of rehabilitation of the upper limb, which includes the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder girdle. Using specialized skills in assessment, planning and treatment, hand therapists provide therapeutic interventions to prevent dysfunction, restore function and/or reverse the progression of pathology of the upper limb in order to enhance an individual’s ability to execute tasks and to participate fully in life situations.

Our physical therapy screening process offers patients access to a guided medical opinion on the nature of their possible treatment plan for the symptoms they are experiencing. Screenings take a focused look on out-word symptoms and educates people so as to guide them to the right direction of treatment, whether that is with us or other avenues of healthcare. The process takes about 30 minutes with one of our treating DPTs and the cost is $35.00.
