As athletes/dancers, you have certain demands you place on your body. We as movement impairment specialists strive to understand your sport or technique, and will work closely with you to challenge your injury during the appropriate stages of recovery while you return to sport/dance.
As you enter the rehab stage it is the physical therapists responsibility to have a clear understanding of the surgical procedure. We utilized appropriate therapy guidelines and protocols in designing a comprehensive rehab program.
We are neck and back specialist, treating a variety of conditions from herniated discs, spondylosis, spinal stenosis, acute facet dysfunction, scoliosis, spondylolesthesis, (DDD) degenerative disc disease, etc.
Our physical therapists are highly trained in analyzing gait and balance disturbances. We use advanced manual techniques of (PNF) proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation to challenge the patient during the stance and swing phrase.
Whether you have an acute injury or chronic condition, it is imperative to address postural issues. Without this very critical aspect of rehab you can continue to place your injured tissue through micro trauma, which is the slow, degenerative process which occurs with poor posture.
