Physical Therapy
Is to provide compassionate, high quality, individualized, patient care. We strive to establish open and professional relationships with our patients, their families and any other members of their health care team. Our goal is to, as quickly as possible, help the patient achieve the highest level of pain free performance and functioning. At Integrated Health, all of your care is provided by licensed physical therapists and physical therapy assistants with specialized training in various manual therapy techniques. We won’t leave you on a piece of equipment, unattended, for any amount of time. Our Staff is dedicated to furthering their skills and keeping informed about the latest developments and research. They attend continuing education and they share what they know with each other. Over and over again, our patients say that the care they receive here is different, and better, than the care they have received at any other physical therapist’s or chiropractor’s offices.
The initial evaluation and frequent reassessment throughout the course of therapy guide treatment. The type of treatment received is specific to the nature of one’s condition. Integrated Health emphasizes a manual therapy based approach. Generally speaking, this involves a skillful hands-on application of specifically controlled forces to the body in order to decrease pain, improve myofascial tension and mobility, improve joint position and mobility, or enhance motor performance. The patient remains an active participant by providing movement, force or feedback. Treatment may also involve gait training, body mechanics instruction, functional movement re-education, balance and stability facilitation, and postural training. Imperative to the success of treatment is the establishment of a comprehensive home program as well as the patient incorporating knowledge gained about his or her condition into his or her life. As an adjunct to treatment, dry needling, ultrasound, iontophoresis, bio-feedback, electrical stimulation, ice and heat therapy, and massage therapy may be used as well.
