Our Physical
Therapy focus at AllianceHealth is to provide a complete rehabilitation
program. This includes:
• Evaluation
to determine the origin of the present condition,
• Functional Muscle Test to identify specific
muscle groups that may be causing weakness, spasms,
or a muscle imbalance,
• Establishing
personalized realistic goals focused on difficulties
present in activities of daily living and work requirements,
• Continual
education to ensure that upon discharge our patients
understands what is needed to prevent re-injury. |
Modalities used in Physical Therapy
treatment include ice massage, moist heat, electrical stimulation,
joint mobilization and soft tissue massage. These modalities
are used in conjunction with stretching and strengthening
activities performed in the office under direct instruction
and supervision of a Physical Therapist.
When a patient is ready
for discharge, a final assessment is performed to ensure optimal
function has been achieved. We strive to educate our patients
to understand what exercises they need to perform daily to
prevent re-injury. |
