We provide quality, comprehensive treatment for patients who are injured or suffering from any type of movement or function disorder.
As a key member of today's dynamic health care team, we prescribe a goal-oriented program of evaluation, treatment, and prevention for our patient's specific needs.
Conditions we treat include but are not limited to:
The benefits of physical therapy include:
Falls and fear of falling in our senior population are recognized public health crises.
According to the CDC, falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths in older adults by a wide margin. Each year, more than two million seniors experience a fall severe enough to necessitate emergency medical treatment. This number along with the associated personal and societal costs of falling is expected to rise as our population ages. Despite these grim statistics, many falls are preventable with professional interventions that address the causes of falling in older adults.
Our expert clinicians are trained in evidence-based interventions that are proven by controlled clinical trials to effectively reduce the number of falls in older adults.
There are other factors that also contribute to falls. Neurological conditions such as Parkinson's Disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, brain injury, vestibular disorders, and neuropathy also increase fall risk. Our therapy team is well equipped to address the problems of falling and the fear of falling in individuals living with these conditions.
Our industrial program is designed to return injured employees to the workplace in a timely manner. We thoroughly identify the physical job demands of the employee and develop a program that will break through the barriers allowing the employee to safely and confidently return to work.
Work conditioning is an intensive, work-related, goal-oriented conditioning program designed specifically to restore systemic neuromusculoskeletal functions, muscle performance, motor, function, range of motion, and cardiovascular functions. The objective of the work conditioning program is to restore physical capacity and function to enable the patient/client to return to work.
A Functional Capacity Evaluation is a comprehensive battery of performance-based tests that is used commonly to determine the ability for work, activity of daily living, or leisure activity.
The Functional Capacity Evaluation quantifies safe function abilities and is a pivotal resource for:
Our reports determine an injured worker’s ability to return to work and includes a physical assessment of the injured client.
An ergonomic evaluation is a study of a worker at their workstation to ensure that they are in good posture and that their workstation is properly set up.
A good ergonomic assessment is performed to reduce a worker’s exposure to physical hazards such as:
We perform a comprehensive ergonomics assessment and will provide a thorough report to the employee/employer at the conclusion of an evaluation, including all findings and advice.
The three parameters that go into an ergonomic assessment are posture, motion, and temperature.
Bad ergonomics is avoidable. The advantages of excellent ergonomic techniques include lowering company expenses, improving quality, and establishing a safer atmosphere at the workplace.
Employees who are under physical strain at work may develop ailments that can cost your company money. While the expenses associated with ergonomics, such as special chairs and workspaces, may appear to be a barrier at first, the long-term benefits are better and more productive employees, which are ideal for business.
You may save money on your organization's expenses for missed work time in the near term and workers' compensation over time by following good ergonomic practices.
Employees who are in pain focus on their suffering, not their job. The more severe the pain, the less productive employees were found to be. Comfortable workstations that allow for good posture and fewer movements have been shown to make employees happier.
Workstation design that is properly set up may boost productivity by allowing employees to work in a more comfortable
Workers who are confined in uncomfortable postures might find them distracting and unpleasant. Inadequate workplace design may lead to aggravation and employees that don't perform at their best.
Workers that are suited for ergonomic solutions are more comfortable and productive, allowing them to give their greatest effort.
When you put in the effort to keep your workers healthy and safe, it will increase the overall health and safety of the organization. When employees trust their employer to look after them and are happy doing their job, employee morale and turnover decrease.
Your most important asset as a company is your staff. The accumulation of the four preceding points will result in better employee performance and the creation of a strong safety culture at your firm.
The short- and long-term health impacts of poor ergonomic practices include:
When it comes to ergonomic risks, each job type has its own list of issues or red flags. An office worker's fingers, wrists, and arms might be harmed by poor mouse positioning, keyboard posture, or chair design.
A factory employee, on the other hand, is at risk of back and neck injuries due to twisting at the waist while lifting heavy
Symptoms that poor ergonomics causes are frequently mistaken with other problems. Alternatively, they may be minor and difficult to detect at first. You're encouraging more productive work by giving employees tailored, comfortable, and appropriate work stations.
We assist clients in achieving their greatest potential through innovation, commitment, and best practices. We specialize in on-site training in manual handling and ergonomics that is customized to your company and industry.
Our Workplace Ergonomic Assessment is designed to help all employees learn how to improve their own working settings in order to prevent injuries and ensure a safe place of business.

When your growing tween or teen is diagnosed with scoliosis, you often hear, “We’ll just have to wait and see…” If you’re an adult with painful scoliosis, you’ve likely consulted a surgeon, with similar results. Many people aren’t satisfied with " just waiting to see or waiting for surgery or bracing, and there is another, proactive option for both.
The Schroth Method for scoliosis management was developed in Germany in the 1920s and has been successfully used in clinics around the world since then.
