Our goal is to help you reduce pain and inflammation; improve your balance, posture, and gait; accelerate healing; strengthen muscles; and increase your range of motion. Physical therapy is often prescribed right after surgery to minimize the risk of infection. It also is very beneficial following an injury or prolonged illness.
Services
Hands-on care from licensed professionals, specializing in orthopedics, sports medicine, neuro-muscular diagnoses, neurological diagnoses and balance and vestibular disorders. Initial evaluation includes a review of medical history, and assessment of problems related to the diagnosis, including deficits in range of motion, strength, postural control, balance, gait and functional status.
For our older patients, your physical therapist’s goal is to help you remain independent as long as possible by providing exercises to strengthen your muscles, improve or maintain your ability to get out of bed or a chair, or to help you improve your walking skills, with or without assistance, to prevent falls. We utilize a variety of treatment methods including joint mobilization, massage, electrical stimulation, and the application of heat or ice. Some of the areas we address:

We can help you improve or maintain your ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) as easily and independently as possible such as dressing, toileting, and bathing. Your occupational therapist will work with you to help you adapt and overcome challenges following an injury, illness, or medical event that has caused physical or cognitive limitations. This includes ADL training; functional rehabilitation of the hand, wrist, and shoulder; and neurological rehabilitation following stroke, brain injury, or other neurological events. We can provide guidance for your family members and caregivers. Your occupational therapists can also recommend appropriate adaptive equipment such as eating and drinking aids, dressing and grooming aids, shower aids, or other products to improve home safety. Occupational therapy is beneficial for patients who have been injured, have had a joint replacement, suffer from arthritis or Parkinson’s, or has limitations following a stroke or heart attack.
