MY SERVICES

Evaluation

Understanding your symptoms, testing, diagnosis, assessment, and plan.

Manual Therapy

Use of a physical therapist's hands to help the patient understand alignment and movement. The hands can also be used to manually decrease soft tissue and joint restrictions as well as to facility muscle activity, strength, and endurance.

Therapeutic Exercise

Personalized exercises are based on each individual patient's background and diagnosis.

Cupping

The Eastern technique of applying plastic or silicone cups to the skin surface utilizes a vacuum pressure to draw the tissue up into the cup in order to decrease soft tissue restrictions and increase blood flow to the area.

Pelvic Floor Treatments

Internal and external evaluation and treatment of the pelvic floor for men and women treats diagnoses such as uterine prolapse, urinary and fecal incontinence, increased urinary frequency, inability to fully void, prostate dysfunction, and pain related to dysfunction of the pelvic floor muscles.

Visceral/ Abdominal Treatments

Visceral treatments utilize the hands to evaluate the organs and gently facilitate mobility and function to treat symptoms related to indigestion, reflux, hiatal hernias, constipation, diarrhea, and pain.

Obstructed Breathing/ Respiratory Therapy

Airway and breathing analysis is conducted in order to treat the restricted area. Restrictions can involve the nostriles, nasopharynx, oropharyx, cranial bones, trachea, ribs, thoracic region, and diaphragm. Patients with restricted airways will often snore, have decreased sleep quality, difficulty focusing, teeth crowding, and may fall sick more easily.

Posture & Body Mechanics Training

Physical therapists are able to find postural improvements by finding alignments in which the patients test stronger. Patients are then educated on ways to use the body to control their movement during daily activities (standing up, walking, squatting, bending over a surface) to prevent pain and strain.

Cervical Traction

Utilization of a Saunder's Cervical Traction device to assist in decompression of the cervical vertebrae and disc to decrease symptoms related to nerve pain and degeneration.
