Therapy
Functional Restoration Program is the foundation of our treatment approach, the core of our musculoskeletal care. We design our physical therapy programs to quickly return you to work or sports.
Our wellness team will initially introduce you to exercises that can reduce your pain. Physical modalities like heat, ultrasound and iontophoresis, may be added to help with the healing process. Passive modalities like deep tissue massage, myofascial trigger point release, joint manipulation and assisted stretching can also be part of the initial treatment.
Later on, joint stability and core strengthening exercises are taught to the patient on a one-on-one basis. This is the most challenging and rewarding part of the program as you develop your strength, power and endurance in anticipation to returning to your sports or work. By the end of the program, you should be able to perform all the exercises at home without further supervision.
You will be discharged with specific home exercise program that you should continue on your own. Keeping yourself reasonably fit by doing these exercises can prevent similar injuries from reoccurring.
If you want or have been advised by your doctor to receive physical therapy, please call our office.
