Outpatient Physical Therapy Services

Physical therapists evaluate patients to identify areas of dysfunction. Then, they create a plan of care to address the areas of dysfunction using strengthening exercises and other modalities including manual manipulation. The goal of physical therapy is to reduce pain and to increase function and mobility.

Arthritis/Rheumatoid Arthritis

Treatments for arthritis include modalities (heat, cold, electric stim) to reduce inflammation, and exercises to increase mobility.

Auto Injuries

The goal of therapy after auto injuries is to manage pain and restore normal function through exercise, strengthening, manual therapy, and instrument aided manipulation.

Balance

Patients are evaluated to identify underlying cause and treated accordingly. They are analysed for balance deficits and given proprioceptive and strength building exercises.

Gait/Walking

Individuals with gait problems are evaluated for balance deficits and offered exercise to improve form and walking pattern.

Hip and Knee Replacements

The goal of therapy after hip and knee replacement is to reduce pain, restore mobility and function and return safely to the activities of daily living.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization is a technique used to break up scar tissue and increase circulation. It is performed using small rigid instruments to allow the therapist to better manipulate soft tissue.

Kinesiotape

Kinesio tape is a stretchy tape applied externally to provide support and optimize biomechanical performance.

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is hands-on therapy to mobilize joints and soft tissue and restore proper alignment.

Meniscus

Therapy for people recovering from meniscus tear provides pain relief, edema management to maximize mobility.

MS

Therapy for people with MS includes pain management and learning energy conservation. There will also be emphasis on transfer training and identifying adaptive equipment.

Neck and Back Pain

Treatment for neck and back pain is focused on reducing muscle spasms, promoting proper alignment and posture and strengthening exercises.

Neurological disorders

Treatment for neurological disorders is aimed to improve proprioceptive neruo-muscular facilitation, in other words to improve balance, coordination and gait.

Pain

Physical therapy is an excellent way to address pain. It is non-invasive, and may offer immediate results, as well as continued imporovement over time. Using manual therapy, electric stim, strengthening exercises, instrument assisted gait training and education on body mechanics.

Parkinson’s

Stroke/CVA

Stroke patients are evaluated for gait and balance issues. Therapies are designed to improve strength, balance and function.

Neck and Back Pain

Physical therapy for neck and back pain would begin with a thorough evaluation to determine the area of dysfunction. Next, the therapist would create a plan of care to increase strength and develop proper body mechanics. This would lead to a decrease in pain and an increase in functional mobility.
