State-of-the-Art Physical Therapy

Physical therapy works independently of or in conjunction with chiropractic to return patients to the highest possible degree of personal independence. Our physical therapist treats patients with specific neurological, muscular, and skeletal conditions.

Physical therapy is often used for post-operative conditions, however, it is also prescribed to treat injuries in order to avoid surgery. Furthermore, physical therapy is often used a corrective therapy for chronic conditions. A consultation with Dr. Bissell or referral from your medical doctor is all that’s required.

The physical therapist plans a treatment program after extensive evaluation of each patient and his or her medical record. Tests, observations and a thorough health history provide vital information about a patient's strengths, weaknesses, reflexes, sensory perception, posture and gait.

Individualized treatment programs are designed to restore functional movement, relieve pain, promote healing and recovery and prevent additional injury. After the evaluation, our physical therapist leads patients through various exercises and stretches and may also perform hands-on therapies such as tissue work and joint mobilizations or use modalities such as heat/ice, ultrasound and electrical muscle stimulation. pilates is perfect way to stretch your muscles and tone your body.
