Services We Offer
of
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy, also known as physiotherapy, is a service that teaches patients movements and exercises to improve their strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Physical therapy is used to help people recover physical injury, chronic conditions, and disabilities.
Exercise Program
Exercise programs help with detailing physical exercises and the amount of time each exercise should be performed.
Lifting and Body Mechanics Training
Body mechanics training is designed to help individuals learn the proper mechanics when lifting heavy objects. It involves bending at the hips and knees, rather than the waist, to avoid injury to the lower back.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. It is used to help diagnose the causes of pain, swelling and infection in the body and to examine a baby in pregnant women and the brain and hips in infants.
Traction
Traction is the process of gently pulling a broken bone or dislocated joint with the use of ropes, weights, and pulleys. The goal of traction is to help guide the affected body parts back into place and hold it in a stabilized position. Traction can also be used to treat deformities such as scoliosis, stretch the neck, and relax stiff muscles, joints, tendons, and skin.
Thermal Modalities
Thermal modalities involve the application of heat and cold to treat certain health conditions. Heat is used to increase blood flow and the metabolic rate of tissue. The increased oxygen uptake in the tissue accelerates healing and increases catabolic rate. Cold is used to decrease blood flow to prevent hypoxic damage and keep the tissue from being damaged.
Balance Training
Balance training is the practice of using exercises to improve stability. This includes exercises that strengthen the muscles that help keep you upright.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation uses a device to send electrical pulses through the skin and is used to improve muscle function, decrease pain, or promote healing.
Physical Abilities Testing
Physical abilities testing requires an individual to perform specific physical tasks related to a manual labor job to determine their strength, stamina, and flexibility. This testing is done in a clinical setting and is designed to ensure a worker is able to handle the physical demands of a job.
