A physical therapist with over twenty years of experience utilizes the following 3-step procedure:
1. Evaluate. The therapist assesses your flexibility, muscle strength, mobility, balance, gait, coordination, endurance and functional skills. For spinal problems, they use MedX, a new and revolutionary spine care technology that tests neck and back muscles to pinpoint weakness.
2. Treat. The therapist develops an individualized program around your specific needs, monitoring your improvement and tailoring your program accordingly.
3. Prevent. The therapist discusses aspects of your lifestyle that may contribute to your pain, and teaches your how to manage the pain and prevent future incidents.
They conclude every treatment by teaching specific exercises and general practices that help minimize negative long-term effects and future injury. Each patient receives a specialized post-rehab fitness program to promote continued wellness.
