The Basis of
Physical Therapy Treatment is Active Therapy. This means
that the patient plays an active role in the treatment process
by carrying out the Various Therapeutic Exercise Techniques
that are specified by the Physical Therapist. We believe that
Active Therapy is crucial for the rehabilitation to have
successful results.
To help the patient execute the prescribed therapeutic
exercises, our facility is equipped with Biodex medical
exercise equipment. These machines are specifically designed
for rehabilitation, and can be used by patients of nearly
every level of functional capability. In addition, we make use
of many other types of exercise apparatus including Thera-Bands,
medicine balls, physio-balls, weights, and more to help the
rehab process.
