So, even if you have a hectic job or routine, you don't have to find multiple locations, as we offer a range of physical therapy services, excluding occupational therapy.
Movement Analysis
Movement analysis involves thoroughly assessing your body mechanics and movements to identify areas of limitation or dysfunction. This assessment will give our team a comprehensive understanding of your movement patterns, strength, range of motion, and any pain or discomfort you may be experiencing. This service is ideal for individuals recovering from injuries, managing chronic pain, or working to prevent future injuries, as it brings the following advantages:
- Improved range of motion
- Reduced pain and discomfort
- Increased overall function of your primal mobility
Gait Analysis
Gait Analysis allows our physical therapist to understand any issues contributing to your pain or discomfort, as well as any compensations or maladaptive movement patterns you may have developed. Using pressure mapping and video analysis, our team will have a detailed understanding of your walking pattern and the pressure distribution on your feet and legs.
With this information they can help improve balance and stability in individuals who are:
- Recovering from injuries, especially athletes
- Managing chronic pain
- Working to prevent future injuries, especially for pain or discomfort when walking
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a form of physical therapy that uses thin needles to target trigger points in the muscles, tendons, and connective tissue. This technique releases tension and pain in the affected area, promoting healing and restoring function.
Dry needling can alleviates pain caused by a variety of conditions, such as:
- Chronic pain
- Muscle strains
- Headaches
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, is a form of physical therapy that uses low-intensity laser or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to promote healing and reduce pain and inflammation. This non-invasive therapy works by stimulating the cells in the affected area, increasing blood flow, and promoting the production of collagen, which helps to repair damaged tissue. Laser therapy is ideal if you are:
- Recovering from injuries
- Managing chronic pain
- Working to prevent future injury or illness
- Need help reducing scar tissue or pain associated after surgery
Blood Flow Restriction
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) therapy is a form of physical therapy that utilizes specialized equipment to restrict blood flow to the affected area while performing exercises. BFR causes the muscles to work harder, increasing muscle endurance and regaining strength without needing heavy weights. This can result in faster recovery times and improved outcomes for patients unable to perform traditional weight-bearing exercises due to injury or other limitations.
Sports Rehabilitation
Athletes of all levels recovering from injuries or working to prevent future injuries will benefit from our sports rehabilitation program. In this service, our physical therapist will work closely with you to create a rehabilitation program to help you return to your favorite sport as soon as possible while preventing future injuries.
Postural Correction
Poor posture can lead to various issues:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Headaches
- Respiratory problems
With our postural correction service, you can achieve a more balanced and pain-free body, allowing you to move and function better. We will also teach you how to maintain proper posture and alignment, significantly reducing the odds of future pain and injuries.
Golf Swing Analysis
A golf swing analysis helps golfers improve their swing and reduce the risk of injury. Dr. Eric Abramowitz, DPT, will conduct a thorough assessment to improve your swing mechanics, increase your power and distance, and reduce your risk of injury. With Dr. Abramowitz by your side, you can have an efficient and effective swing, improving your game and time on the golf course.
