Physical Therapy

Orthopedic Physical Therapy

In orthopedic physical therapy, we mainly treat musculoskeletal pain (pain that affects muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones), which may arise due to injury, overuse, trauma, falls, fractures, accidents, or poor posture. Common conditions we treat include:

  • Neck pain
  • Shoulder pain
  • Rotator cuff injury
  • Bursitis
  • Scoliosis
  • Sciatica
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Hip pain
  • ACL injury rehab
  • Ankle pain
  • Achilles repair rehab
  • THR/TKR rehab
  • Vestibular rehab
  • Work related injury
  • Whiplash
  • Stress incontinence
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Tingling and numbness
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Tennis elbow
  • Tendinitis
  • Low back pain
  • SI joint pain
  • Herniated discs
  • Knee pain
  • Meniscal tear
  • Plantar fascitis
  • Arthritis
  • Post surgical rehab
  • Sports injury
  • Auto injuries
  • Diastasis recti
  • Muscle spasm

Pre- and Post-Surgical Rehab

Many musculoskeletal injuries and disorders must be managed through surgical intervention coupled with pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation. Following surgery, bones, muscles, and soft tissues undergo a period of healing. Failure to use these joints and muscles may cause them to heal improperly, limiting range of motion, flexibility, function, and overall surgical outcomes. For this reason, it is essential to complete physical therapy before and after a surgery, and orthopedic surgeons often make therapy recommendations. At Potential Physical therapy, we devise a pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation plan according to your individual needs that helps you quickly and easily return to your normal life.

Total Joint Replacement Rehab

For people with severe joint destruction, replacement is a common operative procedure to relieve pain and improve function. In total joint replacement rehab, we help you move through the healing process by examining your signs and symptoms and your responses to selected interventions.

Post Pregnancy Physical Therapy

Many women are unaware that Physical therapy is an option that can help you through pregnancy all the way up to post-partum recovery. Here are some conditions that are associated during and after pregnancy can be treated with physical therapy.

  • Musculoskeletal pain
  • Pelvic floor pain and dysfunction
  • Stress incontinence
  • Diastasis recti
  • Low back pain
  • Sciatica
  • Weak abdominals
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

Vestibular Rehab

Dizziness is the third most common complaint reported to physicians after chest pain and fatigue. Indeed, 42% of adults say they have felt dizziness or vertigo at some time. Individuals who often experience dizziness, vertigo, visual disturbances, or imbalance may suffer from vestibular disorders. For such patients, other symptoms like nausea, vomiting, decreased concentration, and headache affect all aspects of daily living, and may induce anxiety and depression. Moreover, people with severe vestibular disorders adopt a sedentary lifestyle to avoid worsening their dizziness, which results in decreased ROM, muscle flexibility, and strength and increased joint stiffness. Potential Physical Therapy offers a comprehensive vestibular rehabilitation program. Studies show that vestibular rehabilitation effectively reduces symptoms and improves quality of life.

Concussion Management

The American Academy of Neurology defines a concussion as a “trauma-induced alteration in mental status that may or may not involve loss of consciousness.” It occurs due to trauma to the head, mainly caused by sports activities or car accidents. Approximately 95% of concussed patients have normal imaging studies. In the absence of a loss of consciousness or abnormal imaging, the diagnosis of concussion is made on the basis of neurocognitive impairment and the presence of symptoms, most commonly dizziness and balance impairment. We treat these symptoms with vestibular rehabilitation therapy. For athletes, we also offer a strength and conditioning program that is appropriate to their sport.
