The Role of Our Physical Therapists

Our licensed Doctors of Physical Therapy (DPTs) are musculoskeletal and neurological rehabilitation experts. After thoroughly assessing your condition, your therapist will design a customized treatment plan based on your injury, medical history, and recovery goals. We also emphasize patient education—empowering you with tools and techniques to manage your recovery safely and effectively.

Therapeutic Exercise

Therapeutic exercise is a cornerstone of physical therapy. These targeted exercises strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and restore function. Whether recovering from an orthopedic injury, surgery, or a soft tissue injury, these exercises will help you regain strength and mobility in the affected area. Our physical therapists will guide you through exercises customized to your current ability level, ensuring they challenge you while avoiding overexertion. As you progress, we will adjust the intensity and complexity of the exercises to continue improving your strength, stability, and movement.

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques to alleviate pain, reduce stiffness, and restore normal joint, muscle, and tissue function. Our skilled therapists use various methods, such as joint mobilization, soft tissue massage, and myofascial release. These techniques help improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, and increase flexibility. Manual therapy is often particularly effective for individuals with chronic pain or those recovering from surgery or traumatic injury, as it addresses both the symptoms and the underlying musculoskeletal issues that may be contributing to discomfort.

Cold & Heat Therapy

Cold and heat therapy are powerful, non-invasive methods to manage pain, reduce inflammation, and speed up healing. Cold therapy, or cryotherapy, is typically used immediately after an injury to reduce swelling and numb the affected area, preventing further tissue damage. On the other hand, heat therapy is often applied in later stages of recovery to increase blood flow to the area, loosen tight muscles, and promote healing by improving circulation. Depending on your injury, our therapists will recommend the most appropriate form of therapy to address your symptoms at different stages of your recovery.

Electrical Stimulation

Electrical stimulation (also known as E-Stim) is a technique that uses controlled electrical currents to stimulate muscles and nerves. This therapy is particularly effective for reducing pain, improving muscle strength, and promoting tissue healing. By sending small electrical pulses to the affected area, electrical stimulation can reduce inflammation and pain, helping muscles contract and activate even if weakened or impaired. It’s commonly used for patients with muscle atrophy, chronic pain, or after surgery, providing a non-invasive alternative to medication for managing discomfort and promoting recovery.

Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy uses high-frequency sound waves to target deep tissue injuries, enhancing healing and relieving pain. This modality is especially effective for treating soft tissue injuries like muscle strains, tendonitis, and ligament sprains. The sound waves produced by the ultrasound device penetrate the skin, stimulating the tissues beneath the surface and increasing blood flow to the injured area. This promotes faster healing by reducing inflammation, improving tissue repair, and reducing muscle spasms. Ultrasound therapy can also aid in breaking down scar tissue, which can hinder the healing process after an injury.
