Aquatic Therapy
This pool based therapy provides a natural non-weight bearing environment for patients to perform therapeutic exercises more efficiently than a land based program. The goal is to ultimately progress to a land-based program.
Augmented Soft Tissue Mobilization (ASTYM)
Astym (A’-stim) stands for “a stimulation” of the body’s healing response, which results in the remodeling/resorption of scar tissue and the regeneration of degenerated tendons. The approach is a non-invasive therapy that works fast and consistently. No medication, no needles and no surgery. The Astym process is specific and has proven effective through documented, consistent and desirable outcomes. The results that physicians and patients have come to expect and trust. Developed by a research team of physicians, physical therapists and scientists, this protocol-driven system yields long-term results with short-term therapy, even when other treatments have failed. Only Astym-certified clinicians may perform the Astym treatment.
Custom Orthotic Fabrication
This technique provides our patients a custom molded semi-rigid shoe insert to maintain the ideal “neutral” foot mechanics with functional and sport related activities at an affordable price.
Ergonomic Assessment
This is a comprehensive assessment offered to individuals or businesses aimed at modifying a problematic work station. After investigating and determining the causative factors, reasonable modifications may be recommended to help reduce injury occurrence or frequency.
Functional Capacity Evaluation
This specialty examination measures a person’s physical abilities to perform certain tasks or activities. Typically this test is used to identify if a person is ready to return to work after being off for a period of time due to an injury. The test is helpful in identifying if an individual requires modifications or restrictions upon returning to their work.
Injury Prevention Educational Classes
This educational program is designed and offered to many of our partnered businesses as a complimentary professional service in an effort to educate their employees about injury prevention by means of proper lifting mechanics, stretching, ergonomics and safety awareness.
Job Task Analysis
This is a comprehensive analysis offered to individuals or businesses aimed at identifying the specific physical job demands required for a particular position. We observe and test many of the components associated with a job position including material and non-material handling tasks as well as determine frequencies of those particular tasks as defined by the Department of Labor.
Work Conditioning
This is a specialized treatment program that usually follows rehabilitative exercises. The monitored program is tailored toward an individuals particular job demands/requirements and is usually initiated as a two hour session and progressed up to 8 hours. The goal is to re-condition the injured worker by simulating a “work-like” environment in order to return the individual to work without restrictions.
