“What is the difference between a consultation and initial evaluation?”
☑️Consultation is a discussion of how we can fit your needs for physical therapy, help better your understanding of treatments offered at our clinic, give you a tour of our facility, and provide any other educational feedback needed! There is no evaluation tools or hands on work involved.
☑️Initial Evaluations are the assessments based on your script and hands on treatment provided by the physical therapist. It allows us to get you on schedule and continue to get treatment.

Pre-hab and post-op rehab may sound similar, but they serve two very different purposes! The best part? They work hand-in-hand 🤝
Pre-hab before surgery can be educational, help ease nerves towards surgical intervention, and even improve some strength + mobility prior to.
Post-op rehab is helping you return back to functional following surgery. We assist with pain management, education on your recovery, and support you through the process of it all.

Tight hips 🤝 cranky low back
Did you know lack of hip and lumbar mobility can attribute to your back pain? Your hips and low back are closely connected.
When one area lacks mobility, the other often has to compensate. That’s why hip and back mobility work matters for both performance and everyday movement!
Follow these stretches to improve your mobility✨

Physical therapy is more than being told what exercises to do it’s about actively participating in your recovery. Our team takes pride in being fully involved in not only exercise instruction, but assisting our patients to return to functional tasks pain and dysfunction free.
Check out slide 4 where we worked on gardening tasks with our patient who has had a previous total knee replacement.
True progress happens when patients are empowered to take part in their own healing journey. That involvement is what turns short term relief into long term results.💪🏻

This hard working boy had his last day of PT today and we couldn’t be prouder! ❤️
Over the last 10 months, he has mastered his head rotation, neck and trunk strength, functional transitions, and symmetrical use of his arms and legs, and he’s ready to keep on “crawling” through his milestones! 🏆
We can’t wait to see everything he accomplishes!
