Physical Therapy Services Provided
Balance and Fall Prevention Training
Did you know that 1 in 4 older adults reported falling? Falls are not a normal part of aging and can be prevented. I will assess your home, provide tips to make your home safer, identify why you are falling, and provide targeted treatment to help you become stronger and steadier. Equipment recommendations as provided as needed.
Perhaps you want to return to an activity like hiking, or just feel steadier on your feet in your tennis game. I can help improve your balance so you can continue to do the activities you love and keep up an active, healthy lifestyle.
Pelvic Health Physical Therapy
Includes the treatment of stress urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence, genitourinary symptoms of menopause, postpartum rehabilitation and return to fitness, diastasis recti, prolapse, overactive bladder, nocturia, and pelvic pain.
Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Includes pre and post operative rehab, joint replacement, spinal surgery, neck pain, low back pain, shoulder impingement, rotator cuff tears, bursitis, tendonitis, arthritis, knee pain, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, muscle strains, ankle sprains, acute and chronic injuries.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Feeling dizzy or unsteady? I treat vestibular disorders including BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo), unilateral and bilateral vestibular hypofunction, labyrinthitis, vestibular neuronitis, migraine associated dizziness, and chronic effects of Meniere's disease.
Geriatric physical therapy
This form of physical therapy is specifically geared toward older adults and their unique issues and challenges. Geriatric physical therapy takes into account that older adults tend to become less active over time, experience a decrease in muscle strength, coordination, and reaction timing, and have a lower tolerance for physical activity. I have many years of experience treating the geriatric population and can help improve overall activity level, prevent and reverse deconditioning, prevent muscle atrophy, decrease falls and related injuries and help you maintain your independence.
Dynamic AFO Return To Running And Sport program
I developed this program to help those who have exoskeleton types of AFOs such as the Exosym, Fabtech Reactiv, Hanger High Pro Performance AFO, or similar, return to running and sports. I am a user of this type of device myself, as it has enabled me to return to running without pain, despite having end stage ankle arthritis. Using these types of AFOs alters your normal biomechanics, requiring specific education and exercises to get the most out of your device, and to resume an active lifestyle.
Neurological Rehabilitation
I provide treatment for many neurological disorders including stroke, brain injury, ataxia, Guillain-Barre Syndome, Parkinsons, multiple sclerosis, polyneuropathy, spasiticty/tone, and other neurological conditions. Equipment recommendations will be made as needed to help you improve your independence and meet your goals.
