  • Are there any nonsurgical treatments for scoliosis?

    PT can greatly improve flexibility to the concavity of the curvature and strengthening of the convexity of the curve. Additionally, PT can work postural control and provide positioning techniques during a variety of activities to ensure safety and to not compromise the spine during the execution of daily functional activities.

  • Should I consider physical therapy for my daughter?

    Yes. Muscles atrophy and joints become stiff when casted so it is important to achieve pre-injury state by addressing range of motion deficits and re-gaining the strength that was lost due to the immobility. READ MORE

  • How can physical therapy benefit my son?

    Pediatric PT is habilitative medicine, which is helping young infants, toddlers, and children attain skills and function that would have otherwise not developed without intervention. There are varieties of reasons that children can have challenges with walking and following a thorough evaluation, we can properly assess the origin of those issues. At our office, depending on the age of a child, we use standardized tests, postural measurements, and other clinical findings to assess the causes for gait delays and we focus on those concerns through play-based intervention that incorporates hands-on therapeutic handling, suspension equipment, therapeutic exercises, and manual techniques. The older children, 2+, typically enjoy the session as it's viewed as "fun" since we use a multitude of games and activities to encourage movement, balance, strength building, and flexibility, if needed.
