Why Is Physical Therapy So Important?
What is physical therapy? If you go off of the actual term, “physical therapy”, it means a treatment intended to relieve or heal a physical disorder. Our rehabilitation efforts offer relief for: athletes after injury, seniors after a fall or those with degenerative conditions. We treat adults, children and teens alike that experience ailments, diseases, injuries and unexplained pain. When trauma occurs to the body, what do you do? You seek help to heal the trauma so you can return to your prior level of functionality. Physical therapy is the tool that allows this to happen.
Physical therapy is the best go-to option before choosing invasive surgical procedures or addictive narcotic pain medicines. With our treatments, you can reduce or eliminate your pain, improve your mobility and recover from an injury without surgery. We have preventative regimens designed for athletes to strengthen their muscles help prevent injury. We also offer regimens to improve your balance and prevent falls (especially with our older patients). Physical therapy is even used to soothe pain from degenerative conditions such as arthritis and diabetes and to keep the body strong.

SpineForce Machine
Injury and trauma occur most often with the skeletal and muscular system. The biggest risk area for injury and trauma is your back and spine. The back and spine support your body throughout your daily activities and allow you the ability to move around. We see many injuries to the back and spine, especially with age. The American Chiropractic Association tells us that back pain is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. As much as 80% of people will experience back problems during their life.
Our SpineForce machine’s main focus is reinforcing the strength and structure of your spine during your physical therapy treatment. Our SpineForce machine consists of a platform with sensors, lights, movements and body manipulations meant to help facilitate neuromuscular rehab. It takes assessments of your spine and projects them on a computerized display. Our treatment helps you to view how your body is balanced as it works to stabilize your spine. This targeted treatment supports natural healing and speeds recovery. Learn more about our SpineForce machine here.
Anti-Gravity Treadmill
This machine is literally out of this world! We focus this treatment on patients who need post-surgical healing. It is especially effective for knee replacements and similar joint-recovery needs. We also use our AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill for runners and athletes experiencing pain or abnormal symptoms with their musculoskeletal system. It can be used for all ages and mobility levels. It is designed to reduce gravity’s impact on your body as you train and recover from injuries. This leads to easier recovery with less pain and impact on the body. Safely improve your mobility and strength with our anti-gravity treadmill. Anti-gravity technology can take weight off of areas that are healing while you train and regain muscle movement and strength. Learn more about our AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill here.
Active Therapeutic Movement
We also work to recover and improve your range of motion with ATM2 (Active Therapeutic Movement). ATM2 helps to relieve pain from movement disorders. Maybe you have trouble extending your lumbar spine or moving your shoulder or neck. ATM2 seeks to improve the movement of your spine, shoulders, hips and knees as you do neuromuscular training. This is an amazing treatment for those who may not be able to keep their balance or stability with exercise or movements. Treatment is delivered as you are securely strapped into the ATM2 machine during exercise. Patients will begin to recover their ability to move without pain, regaining their normal physical function safely. See how ATM2 works here.
All of our treatments are designed to give our patients the best and most effective experiences for recovery from injuries and trauma. Our treatments can change the way you move, heal, train and how quickly you return to normal daily function.
