Curious about the services and therapies we provide?

Pre-Surgical & Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

Pre-surgical rehabilitation is designed to prepare the patient physically for surgery, but there are many mental benefits.  Improving your body’s ability to heal itself before surgery can help speed recovery thereafter. Post-surgical rehabilitation is designed to improve range of motion, manage pain, and reduce swelling after surgery. The physical therapist will create a specific treatment plan for each patient’s pre and/or post-surgery needs.

Back Pain

Back pain can be immobilizing. Whether you suffer from acute back pain or chronic back pain, physical therapy and the right treatment plan can help reduce the pain and increase mobility.

Neck Pain

Neck pain is like back pain in that it can be categorized as both acute and chronic. The right physical therapist will help reduce your pain, improve range of motion, strengthen neck muscles, and provide the tools to prevent the pain from recurring.

Knee Pain

Knee pain can prevent walking, standing up, climbing stairs, and performing necessary daily activities. It is essential to improve strength and mobility, and physical therapy can do just that.  Using a combination of exercise, ice and heat, massage, and other therapies customized in your treatment plan, you can work your way back to normal.

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can cause significant trouble in daily life, including difficulty getting dressed, driving, lifting, or performing household or work chores. Your physical therapist will examine your range of motion and create a treatment regimen that will get you back on track. These treatments might include heat, ice, stretching, lifting, or massage.

Hip Pain

Hip pain can stem from many causes. The ligaments and muscles that support the hip joint can become strained over time or injured with impact. Some of us carry weight on our hips, play sports, or have jobs that require repetitive movement. Physical therapy can relieve pain through regular exercise and other proven treatments.

Injuries and Re-injuries

Sports injuries, car accident injuries, and slip and fall injuries can happen to anyone. We provide physical therapy treatment to reduce your pain and accelerate the healing process. Physical therapy after an injury can reduce the risk of re-injury. Your physical therapist can teach you exercises and healthy habits to help you heal if that does happen.

Car Accident Injuries

Car accident injuries can take time to heal. You might experience anything from bruises and strains to fractures, lacerations or whiplash. No matter what the injury, your physical therapist will work with you to help you recover at your own pace.

Work Injuries & Workers’ Compensation

Work injuries have the added complication of dealing with worker’s compensation claims and employer requirements. Physical Therapy Now will create an active treatment plan to get you safely back to work after you have recovered.

Sports Injuries

Common sports injuries include fractures, torn ligaments and tendons, repetitive injuries and so much more. Falls, collisions, sudden movements, and repetitive motion can cause any of these injuries in the ankles, knees, shoulders, and more. Your physical therapy will focus on reducing pain while healing injuries so you can get back in action ASAP

Weakness

Physical Therapy Now will provide you with a treatment plan and exercises for treating muscle weakness in your upper and low body. Whether this weakness is caused by injury, muscle deterioration, or other issues, we create plans to reduce pain and increase strength.

Stroke

Stroke recovery can be a long process, but muscle stimulation, exercise and other proven therapy treatments can restore strength and range of motion to the affected areas. After a stroke, it is important to follow medical and physical therapy advice to improve strength, coordination, balance, and ability to perform daily tasks.

Balance Disorders

Balance disorders can be caused by several issues, including joint stiffness, a lack of activity, inner ear issues, muscle weakness, medication side effects, or aging. Medical conditions such as stroke, arthritis, and brain injuries can also result in balance issues. Your physical therapist can work with you to reduce your risk of falls, improve your strength and coordination, and provide you with the tools you need to prevent injury.

Neurological Disorders

Physical therapy is more than exercise. It is a holistic approach to restoring physical function and daily life. Treating patients with neurological disorders using physical therapy helps them regain movement, feeling, and strength. Whether the situation is due to injury or a medical condition, your physical therapist will create an individualized plan.

Chronic Pain

Chronic pain can ruin your ability to work, socialize, and participate in activities you enjoy. It can affect your mental health as well as your physical health. Physical therapy aims to use a combination of approved medications, exercise, massage, and other treatments to help you reduce or eliminate the pain.

Loss of Motion

Loss of motion can occur due to an injury, a sedentary lifestyle, or a chronic medical condition such as arthritis. In the case of adhesive capsulitis or “frozen shoulder,” sometimes there is little to no explanation. Physical therapy exercise in the clinic and at home can improve the range of motion, reduce pain, and get your strength back.

Injury Prevention for Athletes

At Physical Therapy Now, we do not just treat injuries. We work to prevent them. If you are an athlete, we encourage you to work with a physical therapist to identify your injury risk factors and use them to your advantage to enhance your performance. Balance and strength training can improve your form and your body’s ability to protect itself.

Exercise Therapist

Our exercise therapists at Physical Therapy Now use movement and exercise to help you recover from injury, reduce your physical pain, and strengthen your body. They will not only teach you how to recover and heal, but they will teach you preventative techniques as well, so you can stay as strong and healthy as possible.

Functional Capacity Evaluation

We offer a functional capacity evaluation (FCE) for anyone who has been injured on the job. This evaluation is a set of tests used to determine if you can safely perform your duties before being approved to return to work.

Graston Technique

The Graston Technique is a manual therapy used to treat soft tissue and break up tension using instruments designed for specific body areas. When properly utilized, it can reduce pain and swelling and speed up healing time.

Herniated Disc Therapy

Herniated disc therapy will be slightly different for each patient, depending on the severity and the problems it is causing. Your Physical Therapy Now therapist will examine your mobility, pain, muscle tightness or weakness, reflexes, and posture to determine the right treatment plan.

Kinesiology Taping

Kinesiology taping is a treatment most often used for sports injuries but can also be used for other soft tissue injuries. When utilized properly, it can allow the injury to heal and contribute to further injury prevention.

Occupational Therapy

While your physical therapist will focus on getting you back to peak physical condition, your Physical Therapy Now occupational therapist will work with you toward building skills to perform everyday activities.  Occupational therapy is sometimes necessary after a physical injury or due to a condition affecting cognitive function. Your occupational therapist will set goals specific to your circumstances.

Physical Therapy For Balance

Your treatment for balance issues and vertigo will depend on their root cause. Your physical therapist will create a treatment plan that incorporates the proper exercise to improve your balance and ability to focus your vision and help your brain adjust to accommodate for the issues in the inner ear.

Generalized Pain

Sometimes sources of pain can be challenging to identify. Physical therapy treatment with a qualified Physical Therapy Now therapist can help you relieve pain in the head, neck, shoulders, back, knees, and other areas and teach you methods to use at home to manage issues and keep them away.

Plantar Fasciitis

Commonly found in runners, plantar fasciitis can cause severe pain in your foot and is most noticeable after periods of inactivity. Your physical therapist will teach you exercises to stretch the area and strengthen the leg muscles to reduce or eliminate pain and apply other treatments such as taping to prevent further issues.
