- Stress ManagementFor many years, I was someone who struggled with pap smears or even the thought of using tampons, so going to Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy seemed extremely intimidating. From our very first conversation, I knew that I had found a great fit with Kris. My favorite part about working with Kris was her ‘whole-person’ approach. She took the time to examine all areas in my life that may be contributing to my pain and discomfort, including stress management, exercise, overall knowledge of my anatomy, and many more factors that I would have never made the connection between. I looked forward to sharing my progress with someone I felt accountable to and she celebrated every small victory with me, as well as made adjustments when a technique was not working for me. I got the opportunity to share what I was learning or working on with so many women in my life who then opened up to share their own experiences. During all of this, my confidence and self-esteem grew exponentially! It was bittersweet to see my time with Kris end, however; I am confident in my ability to keep using the exercises and techniques I learned. I strongly believe that every woman has something to learn from Kris! Thank you so much!
- MRIOur expert Physical Therapists have advanced training that determine if you are safe to begin PT, if you need an x-ray or MRI first, or if you need to see a different health provider or physician. If a referral out is needed, we will guide you to getting to the right provider and often can call ahead to get you in sooner. This saves you time, money, and energy.
- X-Rays
- OrthopedicsDid the PT have advanced training specifically in orthopedics and applied functional science? These are categories that PTs can further “specialize” in that often translates to better outcomes in care.
- Sciatica
- Whiplash
- Joint ReplacementNO! Not at all. Joint replacement decisions should be made based on your pain, function and overall activity level. Pictures do not always correlate to function – meaning someone with a very “bad” x-ray showing bone-on-bone or severe arthritis may have minimal pain and still able to do everything with little to no limitation. Other people may have terrible pain and limitations and only mild arthritis showing up on x-ray at best. We should always treat the person and not the picture.
- UlcerNo, we do not do wound therapy. This includes ulcer treatment/management. Other local therapy departments may be better suited to work with these issues.
- Sports MedicineAs student-athletes head back to the practice fields, injuries are going to happen. Despite concerted efforts to reduce and prevent sports injuries, it’s impossible to eliminate them from sports. In order to ensure injuries are diagnosed and treated quickly, before they worsen, it’s paramount parents and guardians are able to quickly identify the signs of Continue Reading
- Physical TherapyOur team is commited to providing world-class orthopedic physical therapy care in a 1-on-1 setting and always from a licensed PT professional. The majority of our physical therapists have earned Board Certification in Orthopedic Physical Therapy, a specialty only 4% of PTs nationwide have. Most importantly, we all believe in a patient-centered approached where we listen, learn about your problem and guide you to succeed.
- Occupational TherapyWe do not have any occupational therapists on staff and therefore do not do traditional occupational therapy. However, if you are looking for therapy for shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand, our physical therapists are trained and can most definitely see you for that. They do not get in to the specifics of dressing/bathing or cognitive evaluations that only occupational therapists do, though. This includes any motion issues, pain, weakness, general function, etc. If someone needs a specific hand splint, we do not do that here. The hospital is able to provide those services.
- Back Pain
- Manual TherapyWe do not do just massage therapy, however often times soft tissue massage or mobilization, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy is part of the manual therapy that our physical therapists provide. This is often used in conjunction with active exercise based on latest evidence and research to address pain and mobility issues.
