Types of Physical Therapy We Offer:

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is a specialized treatment for the management of orthopaedic conditions. Treatment includes specific highly skilled approaches to restore normal motion and power to joints and muscles.

Sports Medicine/Rehabilitation

Our Physical Therapists are trained to assess the athlete’s location and extent of the injury. Once an exam is complete, a comprehensive treatment regimen will be developed to restore the athlete to pre-injury level and prevent the risk of re-injury.

Specific Therapeutic Exercise Prescription

Injured areas of the body will be assessed to determine which exercises are optimal for the tissue that is damaged (i.e., cartilage, muscle, tendon, nerve, and bone). Exercise prescriptions will include sets and repetitions that are optimal for the patient’s specific area of injury and the tissue type involved.

Kinesio Taping

Kinesio Taping is a technique designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles. Kinesio Tape supports the joints without restricting the body’s range of motion as well as provides extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy.

Unloading/Un-Weighting

This is a method used for patients that have pain with full weight-bearing activities. Unloading allows patients to walk with less pain and achieve a more normal walking pattern.

Mechanical Traction

Mechanical traction is a non-surgical form of treatment to alleviate low back pain, neck pain and radiating pain into legs or arms. Traction can be successful in alleviating pain associated with disc herniations, degenerative disc disease, and facet osteoarthritis.

Dry Needling

Dry needling treatment functions to relax tight muscles (trigger points), helps to reduce inflammation, triggers a healing response in damaged muscles, and aids in pain reduction.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping involves placing cups on the skin to create suction which is thought to improve the flow of energy in the body and facilitate healing. Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, that can improve overall blood flow to promote cell repair, and form new connective tissues. It is thought to help with the body’s resistance to pathogens and reduce pain.
