What is physical therapy?

Physical therapy is a rehabilitation medicine specialty that uses specially designed equipment and exercises to help patients get back to their usual physical routine. You could benefit from physical therapy when health problems make it difficult to move around and prevent you from performing daily activities.

The Premier Performance Physical Therapy team assesses and treats various acute conditions that affect physical function in adults and children and can often relieve pain as well as restore function. Physical therapy also provides relief from long-term health conditions.

What physical therapy treatments are available?

Physical therapy treatments available at Premier Performance Physical Therapy include:

• Exercise programs
• Heat
• Ice
• Ultrasound
• Electrical stimulation
• Therapeutic exercises
• Dry needling
• Functional training
• Manual therapy techniques
• Assistive and adaptive devices

Some physical therapy treatments use devices that allow your therapist to improve muscle tone, ease stress, and relieve pain. These passive treatments typically don’t require any exertion on your part, whereas active physical therapy treatments involve you performing certain exercises and movements.

A combination of both types of treatment is most likely to ensure optimal results.

What specialized physical therapy treatments are available?

Premier Performance Physical Therapy offers several specialized treatments in addition to injury recovery and chronic disease management, including:

Sports therapy

Sports therapy treatments help prevent your soft tissues from shortening and weakening (atrophy) while in a cast, brace, or sling. As your tissues heal, your therapist expertly guides you through the rehabilitation process, ensuring you do enough to exercise properly and stretch the muscles and connective tissues without damaging the freshly healed area.

Pre-and postoperative treatments

Preoperative treatments get you fit for surgery, while postoperative therapies assure a faster, more successful rehabilitation after surgery.

Spine rehabilitation

The Premier Performance Physical Therapy team uses carefully selected treatments to help you regain function after a spinal cord injury (SCI) or spine surgery.

Pregnancy physical therapy

Pregnancy causes backache and joint pain for many women, who then find exercising hard. Physical therapy treatments stretch and strengthen the musculoskeletal system, reducing pain, increasing flexibility, and helping you prepare for childbirth.
