The benefits of physical therapy

If you are in need of physical therapy due to pain, injury, or an orthopedic condition, Professional Physical Therapy can help you get back to the activities you love. At Professional, we understand that not all injuries are created equal…and neither should treatment plans.

Physical therapists provide care for people in a variety of settings, including hospitals, private practices, outpatient clinics, home health agencies, schools, sports and fitness facilities, work settings, and nursing homes. State licensure is required in each state in which a physical therapist practices.

Our Best Services

Our approach to physical therapy is tailored to your specific condition and requirements. Initially, we conduct a thorough physical assessment, encompassing an evaluation of your current symptoms, medical background, and relevant lifestyle factors. Following this assessment, our physical therapists employ a range of common treatments and interventions, which may include:

  • Manual therapy: Manual therapy at Performance Therapy Institute includes hands-on techniques, such as:
  • Therapeutic Massage: A therapeutic technique that improves circulation, reduces muscle tension and pain, and promotes relaxation. Massage therapy involves the manipulation of soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia (thin layer of connective tissue that supports muscles, bones, organs, and other structures in the body)
  • Joint Mobilizations and Manipulations: We employ techniques aimed at enhancing joint flexibility and alleviating discomfort and rigidity. This approach entails utilizing manual therapy methods to facilitate movement in the joints and adjacent tissues. Mobilizations encompass a spectrum of force intensities, from gentle to vigorous, while manipulation entails swift, low-impact thrusts to mobilize joints. These interventions effectively alleviate pain, enhance range of motion, and promote the restoration of optimal function.
  • Therapeutic exercise: Our physical therapists are adept at crafting tailored exercise regimens to enhance your strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance. These targeted exercises are instrumental in aiding patients' recovery from injuries, alleviating pain, and mitigating the risk of future injuries.
  • Functional training: Frequently, you may need support with functional activities like walking, stair climbing, or lifting objects to enhance your capacity for everyday tasks.
