Aquatic Exercise Program

Aquatic exercise is a valuable part of improving function and independence with life's activities. As part of our comprehensive approach to rehabilitation, our water based program enables patients of all abilities to gain the benefits of exercise without excessive loading of painful joints. A patient-specific exercise program that incorporates the qualities of buoyancy and resistance unique to a aquatic environment is directed toward individual functional goals set by the patient amd therapist together. Our competence and experience in the treatment of all orthopedic conditions blends well with aquatics to encourage a swift return to a land-based exercise program and functional activities, as well as promotes independence for an individual or group aquatic exercise program after discharge.

Obstetric Physical Therapy / Women's Health

Pre- and post-partum low back pain can be debilitating for mothers and mothers-to-be. Abdominal muscle weakness coupled with ligamentous laxity can contribute to problems with the sacroiliac joints and the lumbar spine. Manual therapy can help to promote healthy spinal and pelvic alignment and reduce pain before and after pregnancy. Specific graded exercises are safe for mothers-to-be and can help them remain comfortable in the final stages of pregnancy. After delivery, re-establishing a healthy alignment of the spine and pelvis as well as initiating a basic stability and body mechanics training program will help mothers return to activity safely and quickly.

Back to Golf Fitness Program

Utilizing a combination of highly specialized manual therapy techniques and therapeutic exercises, this program is designed to promote a healthy back for patients who enjoy golf as a part of an active life. The key to a healthy swing is a balance between upper and lower body flexibility and core stability, thereby reducing excessive strain on the golfer's spine and improving his or her swing mechanics. Increased strength and a greater range of motion reduce the incidence of injury and add power and accuracy to the golfer's game.

On-site Ergonomics Assessments

Proper work-place set-up is an important part of keeping a patient healthy. Adjustments and equipment recommendations made on-site to their work station or office allows the patient to maintain the improvement that they have acheived in treatment and serves as injury prevention education.

Pre-work Screen Exams

Utilizing objective testing adapted from the WorkWell Solutions Functional Capacity Evaluation, a prospective worker can be screened to identify potential limitations to their ability to perform specific job tasks. Such a screen helps to limit Worker's Compensation claims and minimize time off the job due to injury.
