Physical Therapy

• Foot Care Management & Orthotics
  
  Our Foot Care Management service provides a comprehensive approach of physical therapy biomechanical assessment, therapeutic exercise, orthotic fitting and proper footwear. Orthotics are custom-made inserts that fit inside the shoe to improved the stability and alignment of the foot and leg.
  
  Foot Management will include a physical therapy assessment for musculoskeletal alignment of the pelvis, leg and foot. If the musculoskeletal alignment can be improved with customer foot orthotics, the therapist will make a mold of the patient’s foot and the mold will be sent to a lab for fabrication.
  
  We accept third party reimbursement for the physical therapy evaluation, intervention and orthotic fitting. The orthotic supplies and fabrication will be paid in cash or credit card by the client at the time of service

• Anodyne Therapy (for peripheral neuropathy)
  
  Anodyne Therapy is used for patients experiencing painful, circulatory problems that interfere with sleep, the ability to walk or other participate in other activities. If you have been diagnosed with pain and poor circulation in your extremities caused by cardiovascular disease, chemotherapy, diabetes (peripheral neuropathy), vitamin deficiencies, metabolic disease, anemia, or infectious diseases, Anodyne Therapy may be for you. Consult with your doctor.

Our program may include some of the following:

• Anodyne Therapy to reduce pain and increase circulation
• Stretching and strengthening exercises
• Balance and walking exercises
• Massage and other therapeutic modalities for pain

• Urinary incontinence
  
  Urinary incontinence is not a natural consequence of aging. Although bladder leakage is more common with age it is not inevitable. As part of your health care team your physical therapist can guide you through lifestyle changes and exercises that can help you prevent and reverse urinary urge and incontinence.

• Strengthening and Conditioning
  
  Exercise programs for rehabilitation from injury and illness, sports specific training, health promotion and disease prevention. We have a wide variety of state of the art exercise equipment and utilize the latest evidenced-based practice patterns.

• Neuromuscular Techniques

• Strain/Counterstrain (S/CS): A passive positional procedure in which the therapist places the body in a position of greatest comfort, thereby relieving pain by reduction and arrest of inappropriate proprioceptor activity that maintains muscular dysfunction. Four of our therapists, Rhonda White, Steve Curtian, Jonathan Eaton and Sharon Justice have training in S/CS I, II & III techniques.
• Craniosacral Therapy: The craniosacral system consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. It extends from the bones of the face, skull and mouth, which make up the cranium, down to the sacrum, or tailbone area. Since this vital system influences the development and performance of these areas of the body, an imbalance or restriction in it could potentially cause any number of sensory –motor or neurological disabilities. These problems could include chronic pain, eye difficulties, scoliosis, motor-coordination impairments, learning disabilities and other health challenges.
  
  Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle method of detection and correction that encourages your own natural healing mechanisms to dissipate these negative effects of stress on your central nervous system. You also benefit from better overall health and resistance to disease. Sharon Justice, PT, DPT has received Level II and III training in Craniosacral Therapy

• Manual Therapy
  
  Our therapists utilize many “hands on techniques” that include joint mobilization as well as soft tissue mobilization and therapeutic massage.

• Wound Care
  
  Wound assessment, cleansing, debridement and dressing applications for diabetic, decubitus or infectious wounds.
