Orthopedic Physical Therapy
Orthopedic rehabilitation encompasses a wide range of injuries
and problems involving the joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments,
bones and peripheral nerves. In physical therapy we work to
resolve pain, limited motion, gait problems, weakness, loss
of function, and to prevent recurrence.
Sports Physical Therapy
Athletic injuries are essentially orthopedic injuries which
have a sport specific component. Our goal for the athlete
is to return the patient to the sport quickly, while preventing
re-injuries through proper warm-up and training procedures.
Our program is uncommonly effective, helping return patients
to previous levels of sports activity through exercises for
the trunk, upper, and lower extremities and back.
Pre & Post Surgery Rehabilitation
Prior to our following a recent surgical procedure, you may
receive physical therapy to improve your current condition.
Having physical therapy prior to surgery may help to speed
the recovery following surgery by improving range of motion,
strength, flexibility, gait, and/or function. Also, education
regarding the rehabilitation following your specific surgery
may be included as well as immediate post-operative precautions
and instructions. Rehabilitation may also be prescribed to
improve your current condition with the goal of avoiding possible
surgery.
Post-surgical rehabilitation encourages a faster recovery
through range of motion improvements, strengthening, neuromuscular
re-education, gait training, and/or functional activities.
A home exercise program instruction may be included in your
treatment to promote a quicker recovery and to help you reach
your goals.
Hand Therapy
Because of the unique structure, anatomy and functional requirements
of the hand, specialized training is necessary for proper
rehabilitation. Hand rehabilitation is truly a subspecialty
of orthopedics. Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists
and physicians work closely together to emphasize rehabilitation
and treatment for the specific surgical procedure you have
received.
Spinal Rehabilitation
Spinal rehabilitation refers to problems with your neck or
back. Because of the unique structure of the spine and special
problems related to this area, specialized training is necessary
to ensure appropriate intervention.
Because the majority of problems are mechanical, relating
to specific activities, postures, and habits of the patient's
and client's life style, a mechanical solution is necessary.
A thorough evaluation will be performed to identify movements,
positions, and activities that aggravate the condition as
well as those that will decrease symptoms.
Functional Capacity Evaluations
The Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is an objective
group of evaluation techniques that provide reliable information
regarding an individuals ability to perform activities of
daily living and or work function. The FCE is an intricate
component for determining the proper course of further treatment,
ie: returning to work, disability or the necessity for continued
physical therapy or work conditioning. Each FCE will be tailored
to the individuals job description or unique circumstances.
It will also consist of numerous validity and reliability
measurements to help determine if the participant is giving
a full and consistent effort. The requesting party will receive
a comprehensive, yet easy to understand, report that will
guide them in making a timely and appropriate decision for
the patient.
Industrial Rehabilitation
Program entails job specific exercises that help an employee
regain pre-injury competence, increase endurance, and help
reduce the likelihood of repetitive movement injury.
Work Conditioning
During the initial evaluation, job duties are extensively
discussed with the patient as well as anticipated return to
work goals. Right from the very first day we are directing
our care at return to full function or modifying the work
environment so that the patient can return to work as soon
as possible. To that end, we work extensively with work simulation
and conditioning activities with emphasis on repetition in
order to prepare the patient for his or her return to work.
Additionally, we work closely coordinating with any case managers
assigned to the patient's case to be sure all aspects of the
patient's care is covered.
Job Site Evaluations
Job site specialists will work with you to help reduce the
chance of acute and chronic injuries. Up front investment
in proper job design will reduce injuries thereby saving your
company time and money in the long run.
Other job-related evaluation:
* General physical therapy evaluations
* Work Tolerance testing to determine a person's suitability
for a specific job
Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy is skilled treatment that helps individuals
achieve independence in all facets of their lives. It gives
people the “skills for the job of living” necessary
for independent and satisfying lives. Services typically include:
- Customized treatment programs to improve one’s
ability to perform daily activities
- Comprehensive home and job site evaluations with adaptation
recommendations
- Performance skills assessments and treatments
- Adaptive equipment recommendations and usage training
- Guidance to family members and caregivers
Neurological Rehabilitation
Neurological rehabilitation involves injuries, disease, and
problems related to the central nervous system. In occupational
therapy the goal is to achieve maximal, independent level
of function through strengthening, range of motion, coordination
and balance training as well as functional activities.
Fitness Conditioning Program
The therapist's approach to getting and staying in shape.
The targeted program helps the inactive or underactive prepare
for increased physical exertion, including home exercise,
by teaching the proper way to condition muscles. At the end
of your program you will be able to safely continue your exercise
routine at home, in the gym, or outside.
ASTYM
ASTYM (A-stim) treatment is a rehabilitation program that stimulates the regenerative healing process of the body. This approach is a non-invasive therapy that works fast and consistently. The ASTYM system rejuvenates muscles, tendons and ligaments. It gets rid of scar tissue problems from old injuries that can restrict the natural movement of soft tissue, and those restrictions can cause pain.
