Physical Therapy
Physical therapy and rehabilitation needs to be an individualized experience. Every patient will have different symptoms, deficits, physical demands, and goals for their sessions. This is why the cookie cutter, three times per week, experience is not right for everyone.
By providing a thorough evaluation, collaborating on realistic and obtainable goals, and carrying through with focused attention at each visit, it allows us to exceed each patient's expectations. This is not a typical physical therapy experience.
What to Expect...
Evaluation
At your first visit, you will be taken through a thorough subjective interview and physical examination.
This allows us to determine the underlying cause of your pain, identify provocative movements, and identify the best entry point into physical activity and rehabilitation.
Collaborative Goal Setting
After a thorough evaluation, we next determine what your goals are and what activities you want to get back to.
This is likely the most important aspect of your evaluation and sets the stage for each subsequent visit. Everyone has their own individual goals and that is why no rehabilitation should ever be the same.
Pain Relief Strategies
The vast majority of individuals seeking physical therapy are doing so in order to decrease their pain.
There are a multitude of different passive and active modalities that have been shown to modulate pain. This includes therapeutic exercise, Mckenzie exercises, joint manipulation, soft-tissue mobilization, massage, instrument assisted soft-tissue mobilization/Graston, and dry needling.
Performance Therapy
While pain relief is at the forefront of our focus, improving function and tolerance for physical activity often carries the most importance long-term.
Through the use of progressive loading strategies, we will adequately prepare you for your chosen sport, activity, and anything that life can throw at you.
Self Management & Injury Prevention
Once you have achieved your goals and it is time to transition to self management, we will not abandon you. This is one of the most important timeframes of the rehabilitation process and we will make sure to provide you with all of the education and resources needed to not only maintain, but improve upon your current condition.
At your last visit, you will be provided with a thorough home exercise program that will keep you moving in the right direction. All of our patients have a direct line of communication with their therapist and this does not change once you achieve your goals. You are a part of the Resolve Physio family and we will always be there for you as a resource.
Additionally, for those that want a more formal transition into physical activity, we do offer personal training services for our clients as well.
