Services Provided
After being referred for physical therapy, each patient receives a comprehensive evaluation by one of our licensed physical therapists. An individualized treatment program is then developed by the therapist based upon the recommendations from the referring doctor and the findings of the evaluation. A plan of care is established to help gain strength, mobility, flexibility, range of motion, decrease pain and ultimately return to full function. Our therapists maintain continuous communication with the referring doctor regarding the patient’s current progress.
The Staff
Our therapists are highly trained in all aspects of orthopedic injuries and dysfunctions. They are actively involved in continuing education as well as teaching at local community functions and collegiate settings. Our staff also includes licensed physical therapy assistants (PTAs) who are here to assist the physical therapists in implementing the plan of care. They are an intricate part of the Physical Therapy team and have extensive knowledge in the areas of therapeutic exercise, functional activities and modalities (i.e. ultrasound, electrical stimulation).
