Physical Therapy

By definition, physical therapy is a unique science and art that utilizes a wide variety of procedures to restore function to the body, reduce pain and help prevent future injury. When daily life is altered due to an injury, accident, chronic medical condition or re-injury, we realize we are responsible for helping to put our patients’ lives back on course and help each individual get back to life.
Physical therapy utilizes a variety of evidence-based treatments, physical exercises and hands-on modalities to begin the rehabilitation process at the onset of injury or pain. These skills may include:

    • Aquatic therapy
    • Balance training
    • Custom foot orthotic fabrication
    • Electrical stimulation
    • Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM)
    • Manual therapy
    • McKenzie method
    • Postural education
    • Spinal traction
    • Therapeutic exercise
