Gold Standard Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy

 EVALUATION

Your first session will begin with a comprehensive initial evaluation where we will gather your medical history, test your strength, balance, coordination and flexibility, assess your posture and gait, and perform a neurological screening.  We will identify your functional impairments using various assessment tools and determine the root cause of your injury.  An individualized treatment program will be developed after your exam and will focus on helping you achieve all your goals. 

 

TREATMENT

Your treatment plan will evolve and progress as your condition changes.  We will incorporate advanced manual therapy techniques, therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, postural correction, therapeutic taping and gait training into your sessions.  We focus on treating the whole body and not an individualized joint.  You will be instructed in a home exercise program to help promote self-care and independence to aide you on your road to recovery.  Our goal is to get you back to an active lifestyle as quickly as possible.

Gold Standard Physical Therapy: Pilates

Pilates

 Pilates is a low-impact exercise program that trains the body as an integrated whole.  It strengthens the core which supports the spine and pelvis, helping to improve posture, balance and mobility.  Pilates can increase flexibility which can prevent injuries and reduce muscle tension.  Pilates exercises require a focus on breathing and body alignment to help reduce stress and alleviate pain and help you on your road to recovery.
