Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is an exercise program that helps you to improve movement, relieve pain, encourage blood flow for faster healing, and restore your physical function and fitness level. The main aim of physical therapy is to make your daily activities, such as walking, getting in and out of bed and climbing stairs, easier. It can be prescribed as an individual treatment program or combined with other treatments. Physical therapy is usually ordered to help you recover after certain surgeries, injuries and long-term health problems such as arthritis. We start each first visit with a detailed evaluation of your condition and a search for the root cause of your injury or condition. We take ample time with each patient to ensure your recovery and return to your normal level of activity.

Common Pain & Injuries Requiring Physical Rehabilitation

Whiplash and other Motor Vehicle Accident issues

Our experienced staff will work with you to custom-make a program designed to help you recover from an injury and return to the workplace. Our goal is to help you recover as quickly as possible.

Pre and Post Surgery

After your joint replacement surgery, our specialized physical therapy hastens your recovery and return to pain-free movement. We are experienced in handling a number of pre and post orthopedic surgeries including total hip and total knee replacements, fracture repair, arthroscopic procedures for the knee and lumbar and cervical disc surgery. We will work closely with your team of surgeon and physician to ensure your treatment program is uniquely designed for your needs.

Repetitive Strain Injury

Overuse of a single body part can lead to a wide variety of repetitive strain injury ranging from carpal tunnel syndrome to golfer’s shoulder to gamer’s thumb. Workers on assembly line or computer keyboards, athletes and musicians are all prone to this disorder, as well as children and adults who spend an inordinate amount of time playing video games. These painful conditions can impact your joints as well as the muscle, bone, tendon and bursa of the joint.

Chronic Pain

When you live in chronic pain, the strain on you and your family can be tremendous. Your quality of life is impeded, sometimes never to be returned to normal if effective treatment cannot be found. We are experienced working with patients suffering from persistent pain at all levels. We have had success in treatment patients with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, as well as those suffering pain from cancer treatments or arthritis.
