Our Approach
The key to successful rehabilitation is understanding the human body as a complex mechanical system. It is not a system of inanimate parts, but of living tissue adaptable to forces, movement, and change. Thus, the key to providing effective treatment is understanding the patient from a holistic perspective. This includes the mechanism of an injury, work demands and positions, past medical / injury history, stress, and lifestyle factors. Such information can shed light on body imbalances and compensation patterns that can lead to injury or chronic pain.
Treatment
The human body is an intelligent creation adept at self-preservation and adaptation. The role of the physical therapist is to facilitate its ability to heal itself to its full potential. This means treating the symptom and correcting the root cause(s) with the goal of promoting long term self-management of the condition and preventing injury recurrence. We use an eclectic treatment approach including:
- Joint Mobilization
- Myofascial Release and Stretching
- Trigger Point Therapy / Accu-pressure
- Neural Mobilization
- Muscle Energy Technique
- Deep Tissue Release
- Spinal Stabilization Exercise
- Integrated Functional Training
- Gait/Balance
- Ultrasound
- Electrical Stimulation
- Heat/Cold Therapy
Patient Education
Patient education is an integral part of the therapy process. A patient’s knowledge of the involved anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics provides better understanding of his or her condition. This ultimately leads to greater patient engagement and better compliance resulting in effective long-term management and injury prevention.
