Program Offering
Aquatic Therapy Aquatic therapy incorporates the properties of water to positively impact movement, strength and function. Water is safe and effective medium to exercise specific muscle groups and joints with substantially less compressive forces than other types of exercise. Aquatic therapy techniques are designed to move against the buoyancy of water, facilitating exercise by making movement easier and less painful. Our techniques build on water's naturally resistance to improve quality and strength of movement. The therapeutic, non-weight-bearing properties of water create an ideal rehabilitation environment, especially for post-operative patients with back injuries. For more information, contact a center nearest you. What is Manual Therapy? Manual Therapy is a collection of specialized techniques used by therapists to help muscles relax, decrease pain and restore normal movement to joints. These techniques, which include massage and stretching, are usually performed in conjunction with exercises and have been shown to be one of the most effective types of treatment available for various conditions. Our therapists decide which techniques are best suited for each patient after performing a thorough evaluation and discussing treatment goals. Women's Health At Select Physical Therapy, we believe in caring for the whole person, both physically and emotionally. Our Women's Health Program was created to meet the special needs of women - on a behavioral, therapeutic, and holistic level. Our clinical team is specifically trained to effectively treat a variety of women's health issues including incontinence, pelvic pain, pregnancy related pain, and gynecological post-surgical rehabilitation. Our treatment plans are created to meet your individual and specialized needs and circumstances. Wii Fit Rehabilitation We have merged the science of physical therapy and the fun of Wii Fit! This innovative approach to physical therapy is geared towards individuals of all ages and fitness levels. By incorporating the Wii Fit into individualized treatment programs, patients are more engaged in their treatment and are excited to return for each visit. Graston Technique^® The Graston Technique is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization. Our clinicians completed the specialized training to allow us to provide this technique.
