Treatment Modalities
We stress "hands-on", one-to-one treatment, with emphasis on extensive patient education and home programs. Our therapists are continually enhancing their skills through continuing education and other learning experiences, most recently in the area of manual therapy and mobilization and manipulation techniques.
Correct posture during ADL's and appropriate sleeping positions are always stressed along with our focus on function. Graded exercises, modalities, and electrical devices are used at home and/or in the clinic when appropriate to decrease pain and edema, assist in wound healing, and assist in gaining range of motion, strength, and endurance.
