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.
Post Concussion treatment
Most concussions resolve on their own in a few days. In contrast, when symptoms linger, there are therapies to reduce dizziness, regain balance, and to improve attention span.
Upper extremity orthopedics including hand therapy
Occupational therapists can treat the shoulder and elbow for many conditions including post-surgery, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, arthritis, sprains and strains. Hand therapy can improve a number of painful and functionally limiting conditions. Carpal tunnel syndrome, fractures, trigger finger and nerve or tendon repair are some of the conditions that may be improved by hand therapy.
Visual perceptual retraining
People with positioning in space deficits may improve with visual perceptual retraining therapy.
Cognitive therapy
Cognitive therapies help people compensate for problems with problem solving, memory and word finding, and executive function.
Vestibular therapy
Vestibular therapy helps to improve balance and visual coordination.
Kinesiotaping
Kinesiotaping is useful in providing support, pain management, edema management and for positioning.
Physical Therapy Services:
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
Parkinson’s patients undergo a postural assessment leading to balance and gait training.
Pulmonary Therapy
Pulmonary therapy begins with a cardiopulmonary assessment to monitor vital signs and progresses with a graduated exercise program to increase endurance. The program also teaches proper posture and breathing techniques.
Repetitive Motion Injuries
Treatment begins with a biomechanical assessment to address limitations. Next steps include activity modification and strengthening exercises.
Rotator Cuff
Bacharach offers pre- and post-operative therapeutic exercises to increase range of motion, decrease pain, and increase strength.
Runners

Stroke/CVA
Stroke patients are evaluated for gait and balance issues. Therapies are designed to improve strength, balance and function.
Neck and Back Pain
