Customized treatment plans

blog post
Customized treatment plans are designed to increase strength, restore range of motion, and alleviate pain

Physical therapy and rehabilitation programs are developed using the most effective treatment methods, including:

  • Manual therapy techniques (Joint mobilization, Trigger point therapy, and myofascial release)
  • Muscle energy techniques
  • Postural training
  • Strengthening, flexibility and mobility training
  • Balance/proprioception training
  • Modalities (heat, cold, ultrasound, Paraffin wax, and electrical stimulation.)
  • Taping
  • Therapeutic exercise
  • Home exercise programs

Our expert team develops customized programs to address these common conditions, among others:

  • Sports injuries
  • Repetitive stress injuries
  • Shoulder/rotator cuff injuries
  • Foot and ankle pain
  • Tendonitis and bursitis
  • Knee Arthritis
  • Pre- and Post-operative rehabilitation
  • Post-surgery management
  • Neck and lower back pain
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Scoliosis
 

Shockwave Therapy

blog post
SWT is a noninvasive treatment that involves delivery of shock waves to injured soft tissue to reduce pain and promote healing.

The purpose of the therapy is to trigger the body’s own natural healing response. Many people report that their pain is reduced and mobility improved after the first treatment…

Shockwave therapy is a modality that is becoming more common in physiotherapy. Using a much lower energy than in medical applications, shockwave therapy, or extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), is used in the treatment of many musculoskeletal conditions, primarily those involving connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons.

Shockwave therapy has shown to effectively treat the following conditions:

  • Feet – heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis
  • Elbow – tennis and golfers elbow
  • Shoulder – calcific tendinosis of rotator cuff muscles
  • Knee – patellar tendonitis
  • Hip – bursitis
  • Lower leg – shin splints
  • Upper leg – Iliotibial band friction syndrome
  • Back pain – lumbar and cervical spine regions and chronic muscular pain

The benefits of shockwave therapy treatment:

  • Shockwave therapy has excellent cost/effectiveness ratio
  • Non-invasive solution for chronic pain in your shoulder, back, heel, knee or elbow
  • No anesthesia required, no drugs
  • Limited side effects
Our Physical therapists treat injuries and illnesses that affect the musculoskeletal system, including tendons, ligaments and soft tissue. We work with our patients to restore normal function, so they can get back to an active lifestyle.

Manual therapy is just one tool in a physical therapist’s kit that allows them to mobilize stiff joints and soft tissue. Our physical therapists have received extensive training in specialized hands-on manual therapy techniques from a wide variety of schools and instructors.

This specialized form of treatment helps in

Manual therapy techniques to:

  • Improve tissue extensibility
  • Increase range of motion
  • Induce relaxation
  • Mobilize soft tissue and joints
  • Decrease pain
  • Reduce soft tissue swelling, inflammation, or restriction
  • Enhance health, wellness, and fitness
  • Enhance or maintain physical performance
  • Prevent or remediate impairment in body functions and structures, activity limitations, or participation restrictions to improve physical function
 

Home Exercise Program & Patient Education

blog post
Providing a home exercise program (HEP) to patients is one of the most fundamental and important aspects of physical therapy.

Our jobs don’t end after our patients leave the clinic for the day. In fact, most patients perceive physical therapy to encompass the entire injury recovery process—from initial evaluation to well past discharge, and at every step in between. If you can get your patients to adhere to their home exercise programs, you can simultaneously improve their outcomes and their perception of their experience with physical therapy at your clinic.

Our HEP are specifically designed for each patient to keep them engaged with their care by giving them a home exercise program they’ll actually use and love.

Patient Education

Our team is emphasizing on:

  • Educating patients on pain versus harm by explaining the nature of pain and nociception and suspending the belief that pain is an indicator of further tissue damage.
  • Reinforcing messages which reduce fear or anxiety about pain
  • Emphasizing the idea that exercise will lead to less pain, anxiety, and depression.
  • Countering maladaptive coping strategies
  • Employing motivational techniques and Motivational interviewing to set personal treatment goals
  • Managing expectations by educating patients the importance of their own HEP.

We provide our patients with individualized and comprehensive physical therapy and rehabilitation programs. Our holistic approach encompasses non-surgical treatments that relieve pain, promote healing and prevent future injury, combined with patient education in physical therapy techniques, and rehabilitation.

Our comprehensive treatment strategy aims to quicken results, shorten recovery time, and prevent re-injury.
