Injury Recovery

It's frustrating when an injury or surgery stops you from joining in your favorite activities. Read below for more information about our approach and conditions we treat.

Injury and Surgical Recovery

Orthopedic Injury

A sore shoulder, a twisted ankle...sometimes a joint or muscle just hurts and rest and ice don't seem to make it better. We combine soft tissue work with techniques to ensure joint health, specially selected exercises and progressions, and comfort care to help you get back to things that make you...well...YOU. 

We address: shoulder and knee pain, foot and ankle pain, hip pain, TMJ, hand pain and trigger finger, and so much more...

Post-Op Rehab

Total Knee Replacement, Total Hip Replacement, Meniscus repair, ACL surgery, Hand recovery, shoulder surgery, spine surgery, and so much more... We focus on rebuilding your range of motion, strength, and endurance. We help you feel confident and understand the breadth of recovery and what to expect throughout the entire process.

We  also offer pre-hab: when you know the surgery is coming, we help you prepare for the best possible outcomes.

Low Back Pain

Our approach really looks at how you move and does more than just "core strengthening". True spine care includes addressing neck pain and headaches, signs of sciatica, disc herniation, arthritis, postural retraining, and optimizing your movement.

In many cases, quality physical therapy can prevent needing surgery, or if you've already had surgery, how to improve your results. We include chronic pain education if you've been experiencing it for a while.

Comfort Care

Physical Therapy has gotten the reputation of just "massage and exercise". We go beyond. Our hands-on techniques are about ensuring your body can do what you need it to do, exercise is used to reinforce that ability and get you back to your life. But we also know aches and pains are frustrating. That's why we include ultrasound, paraffin wax treatments, TENS, moist hot packs, ice, in each session to help you leave feeling calm and with less pain.

Orthopedic Physical Therapy

What is our process behind caring for your injury or pain?

It begins with an evaluation: We measure how well your joints move, how the muscles feel when you move and at rest, we measure your strength, endurance. We start to get an understanding of your daily routines, how you feel about your pain, and your goals.

We use this information to set a Plan of Care: part of this is what we can do for you. We use manual therapy and tools to help reduce pain and improve your function, to help you see recovery is possible. Then we also teach movement and exercises that you can do here, and at home, so your recovery continues even when you're not here and you feel empowered in your life. We help you modify activities that are hard to do so this injury doesn't slow you down.

We help you see your progress every step of the way. We reassess and fine tune every step of the way.

Because when we do our job right - you know you're better for life.

Patient First Care

Your experience matters. Your goals matter. Your care matters.

We're here to support you and create a caring environment backed by evidence-based skills to give you your best results.
