Our
Core Values Regarding Treatment
Physical
Therapy should be delivered one-on-one by only a physical
therapist
We do not believe in using "aides" or "techs"
to perform any aspect of your treatment. Aides and techs
do not have a physical therapy license and do not have
the skills (or legal right) to treat your problem.
Evaluation
of your problem needs to be comprehensive and detailed
Often, while your problem may be felt in one area, there
are other areas that are affecting it. For instance,
the hip and ankle can affect the lower back and the
knee. Hidden problems in the neck will impact the shoulder.
An evaluation is of your entire system, so that your
treatment will give you the best chance of recovery,
and enable you to maintain that level long after you’ve
left our care.
No
one single approach is the only answer
For example, some patients benefit from spinal manipulation,
others from strengthening and stabilization, many from
a combination of the two. It is important to know as
many treatment approaches as possible to find the correct,
precise solution to your unique problem.
Treatment
needs to be tailored to
your unique goals
For example, two patients may have the exact same shoulder
diagnosis, but have lifestyles that place completely
different demands on their shoulders. Rehabilitation
must therefore be highly individualized to each patient
to return them to their optimal level of function.
Everyone
deserves excellence in healthcare
Physical therapy should be delivered in an atmosphere
that is friendly, warm, fun, and above all, conducive
to healing. Rehabilitation must be centered around YOUR
needs, your timeline and your goals, and be provided
by a highly trained physical therapist.
Orthopedic
surgery can very often be prevented or delayed
Even
with surgery, the body mechanics that led to problems
in the spine, knees, and shoulders for example, still
need to be corrected. By correcting them, surgery can
often be avoided or delayed for years, giving you less
pain and greater function.
