Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy is a unique science and art that utilizes a wide variety of procedures to restore function to the body, reduce pain and help prevent future injury. Our Arizona State licensed professionals have extensive knowledge and training in anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology (human movement). We provide expert and personalized care to individuals of all ages and abilities, in order to restore optimal movement, health, and well-being. Our therapists use a hands-on approach in conjunction with specific modalities and customized exercise plans as needed.

EXAMPLES OF CONDITIONS APPROPRIATE FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY
  • Neck/Shoulder/Joint Pain
  • Pre/Post Surgery Conditions
  • Sports Injuries
  • Sprains & Strains
  • Tendonitis
  • Low Back Pain
  • Joint Replacements
  • Orthopedics
  • Balance and Coordination Training
  • Lumbar Back
  • Spinal Conditions
    (such as scoliosis, spinal stenosis,
    bulging or herniated discs)
  • Traumatic Injuries
  • Core Stabilization
  • Work Conditioning
  • Vestibular Deficits
  • Vertigo

The most commonly used therapeutic procedures and treatments are:

  • MANUAL (HANDS ON) THERAPY: Consists of soft tissue techniques including massage, myofascial release and muscle energy techniques, stretching of restricted tissues and joint mobilization/manipulation.
  • PAIN MANAGEMENT: Use of moist heat, cryotherapy, ultrasound, phonophoresis, iontophoresis, electrical stimulation, traction and various manual techniques including massage.
  • THERAPEUTIC EXERCISES: Customized for each condition including strengthening, stabilizing, and stretching of restricted tissues to restore normal pain-free range of motion and muscle balance.
  • POSTURAL CORRECTIONS: This addresses behavior modification, postural exercise, and self-awareness. We concentrate on correction of musculoskeletal disorders.
  • HOME MANAGEMENT PROGRAM: A detailed home exercise program customized to the needs of each individual, including the do's and don'ts related to each condition.
  • KINESIO TAPING: A neuromuscular taping technique designed to promote healing while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body's range of motion.
  • IASTM: Stimulates the body's healing response, which results in the remodeling/resorption of scar tissue and the regeneration of degenerated tendons. The approach is a non-invasive therapy that works fast and consistently.

Our physical therapists are not only knowledgeable in anatomy, physiology, and the biomechanics of the body, but they are dedicated licensed professionals highly trained to deal with people who are experiencing a variety of physical complaints.


Endurance Care

An injury is one of the worst things that can happen to an endurance athlete. It doesn't matter whether you are a runner, triathlete, swimmer, or cyclist. From first time 5K participants to the Ironman. The last thing you want is to be sidelined.

We develop customized rehab programs based on each person's specific condition and specific sport with the goal of helping them maximize strength, flexibility, and endurance. We also utilize manual techniques (soft tissue and joint mobilizations) to aid the healing process.

Commonly treated injuries include:

  • Shoulder/Rotator Cuff Problems
  • Knee Pain

  3. Prevention assessment: "I don't have an injury but I want to do more to prevent them."
  4. IASTYM: Stimulates the body's healing response, which results in the remodeling/resorption of scar tissue and the regeneration of degenerated tendons. The approach is a non-invasive therapy that works fast and consistently. IASTYM is a great tool for endurance athletes to treat that nagging injury. Face it... you want to stay in the "game" right?
