Physical Therapy Evaluation
All programs begin with a comprehensive evaluation of the injury and its impact on the neuromuscular and musculoskeletal system, followed by a discussion of therapy options, timeline, recovery goals, and initiation of treatment. Based on the findings of the evaluation, a combination of the following therapies may be used during the rehabilitation process.
Manual therapy
Targeted, skilled, specific manual therapy techniques in the form of joint and soft tissue mobilization are incorporated and utilized when appropriate to address range of motion deficits and associated movement dysfunctions which subsequently alter normal biomechanical processes.
Therapeutic exercises
Individualized, sport-specific, goal-oriented strength and conditioning programs designed to initiate recovery and facilitate improvement are implemented early and follow a functional progression with graduations in intensity and difficulty over time. Conventional, effective, balanced strengthening programs integrating isolation and functional strengthening are used to restore and improve, strength, mobility, balance, and agility.
Education
All physical therapy programs incorporate home exercise plans which include the tools, information, and education regarding their specific problem which then fosters independence early in the treatment plan.
Private Pilates
Individualized, 1:1 Pilates/Yoga available with Claudia Matles.
Biomechanical Assessment
Observational movement analysis is utilized throughout the evaluation and treatment process and serves to elucidate subtle aberrations from normal movement patterns contributing to a mechanical problem. Ongoing movement observation throughout the active therapeutic exercise component ensures proper exercise form resulting in maximum therapeutic value.
