Our Physical Therapy Services
Every day, we see patients who need help figuring out how to feel better, and our skilled physical therapists in Gladwyne, PA, can tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs. So whether you're recovering from a sports injury, having trouble with your balance, or have a neurological or cardiovascular condition, we are sure to have a treatment option for you.
Movement Analysis
A current or former injury can bring movement-related anomalies, but they can also happen independently. For example, these ailments may cause pain or make it difficult to balance. At Primal Physical Therapy, our movement analysis therapy allows us to treat the primary reason for the issue rather than merely the symptom.
Gait Analysis
Lack of flexibility, strength, or stability is frequently blamed for repetitive stress injuries that occur during jogging or walking. Our physical therapist will thoroughly examine your gait from head to toe at all gait cycle points and compare the findings to a thorough movement analysis
Dry Needling
Muscle tissue is treated with dry needling to reduce pain, deactivate trigger points, and restore function. A tiny monofilament needle penetrates the epidermis and treats the underlying muscular trigger points during a dry needling procedure.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy promotes cellular healing and reduces inflammation by delivering a therapeutic light dosage. Utilizing the most cutting-edge technology available, the Class Four Laser, our experienced physical therapists in Gladwyne, PA, can safely and efficiently treat regions with open wounds, such as post-surgical incisions.
