Assessment designed based on your specific complaints

 Complaints adressed may include though are not limited to pain, mobility deficits, coordination deficits, posture deficits, ergonomic deficits, balance impairment, dizziness, and headaches.

Quality over Quantity 

Not every exercise has the same value with regard to your presentation. Exercise presecription by a licensed DPT reduces the duration of intervention need to reach you particular goals. I provide rationale and education regarding particular exercise choices.

The AHA recommends 30 minutes of stretch/ day.

I will stretch you as apporiate based on your presentation and will teach you how to properly stretch yourself to speed up your progress towards your goals. Depending on the nature of your impairment, stretching can improve your muscle and other soft tissue performance for carryover to funtional activities.

Compensation vs remediation

Depending on the nature of your impairment, you may or may not be able to return to task execution in a similar manner to the way that you did before your impairment began. Ii will help you develop strategies to improve you performance the your daily activities including compensatory stratgies if your original movement patterns have a poor prognosis for return.

I am proficient in a number of manual therapy techniques which usually lead to immediate improvement in obejectively measured mobility and immediate reduction in pain with previously painful tasks. Manual techniques include soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, manual tissue release techniques, and joint manipulation, inlcuding the entire spine. Physical therapist can manipulate the joints of the body and reinforce immediate mobility improvements with complimentary exercises.

Dry Needing

•  inserting thin, sterile needles into specific muscle trigger points, or knots, to relieve pain and improve movement. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling focuses on addressing musculoskeletal pain by targeting muscle tightness and dysfunction. It is used to treat conditions like muscle strains, joint issues, and chronic pain, and is typically part of a larger physical therapy treatment plan.

Electric stimulation

• I use of a small device that sends low-voltage electrical currents through electrodes placed on the skin. These electrical pulses stimulate nerves to help reduce pain by blocking pain signals to the brain and promoting the release of endorphins. You may be more apporpiate to recieve e-stim may be us alone or in combination with dry needling to enhance pain relief and promote muscle relaxation, depending on the specific treatment plan and individual patient needs.

Paraffin Wax treatment

• This treatment involves dipping the hands, feet, or other areas in warm, melted paraffin wax. The wax helps retain heat and improve circulation, providing soothing relief for joint stiffness, muscle pain, and conditions like arthritis. Once applied, the wax forms a coating that traps heat, which can reduce inflammation and increase flexibility.

Whether a busy working adult or a retiree. The convenience of your provider traveling to you frees up more time in your schedule for the things you need or want to do. I have all of the essentials found in a traditional brick and mortar PT establishment.
