Physical Therapy

Therapy that gets to the heart of your pain

Our approach takes a long-term approach to your health and wellness. We aim to identify the root cause of your issues, address it and find ways to keep it at-bay beyond the here and now.

Using a combination of hands-on manipulation and body-specific movements, our therapists support clients through a variety of therapeutic modalities and patient-specific education about what their bodies need for success.

 

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is a specialized, highly skilled form of physical therapy. These include muscle stretching, soft tissue work, joint mobilization, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy. We use these manual therapies to help improve range-of-motion, and provide relief from chronic back pain and soft tissue injuries. It's often used to help the body heal faster following surgery, to prepare the body to accept the surgery, and, in some cases, to avoid the surgery all together.

While you may utilize manual therapy, we view exercise therapy as a crucial part of your recovery process and an important complement to manual therapy.

Exercise Therapy

Using intentional exercises that target areas related to your issues, we aim to stretch and strengthen muscles that are critical to your recovery. You can expect low-weight exercises that will ultimately loosen, stretch, relax and strengthen certain parts of your body, to improve balance, flexibility and mobility. We also spend time working with you to correct posture and movement patterns, and other daily activities and self-care that could be affecting or compounding your issues.


Physical Therapy can help the following issues (to name a few)

  • Neck and shoulder problems

  • Knee, hip, foot and back pain

  • Arthritis

  • Osteoporosis

  • Sciatica

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Headaches

  • Sports or job-related injuries


What to expect from your first appointment

Your first appointment is an assessment so we can understand your goals, identify the issue in question and ultimately begin to determine the best way forward. This initial assessment will allow us to put together a plan of action that addresses the best type of therapy for you, and takes into consideration any other services that might be helpful to getting you to success.
