Our physical therapists are movement specialists who address not just the injury or area of concern but also its impact on the whole body. A knee injury often results in a patient carrying their body differently, misaligning their hips, throwing off their spine, causing back pain and shoulder tension. Therapy addressing the whole-body impact ensures full recovery, reduces need for pain medications, and increases the likelihood of success.

The truth is that functional issues rarely have a single cause. A patient may feel unsafe getting into the shower post hip replacement or fall. Your average practice will focus on the hip replacement as the issue but oftentimes the cause is much more complicated. Our Occupational Therapists address the full picture. Therapists first assess the environment and necessary modifications and/or adaptions for an immediate improvement of performance. Next, therapists will assess root causes such as dynamic reach, proprioception, and cognitive function which may be affecting the patient's success or comfort level. These things are often missed in traditional therapy evaluations. Therapists are then able to focus on improving the true cause of our patients' challenges in order to create long-term success.

PT works on the path, OT works on the destination.

PT helps you learn to move, OT helps you learn to live.

PT is the discipline of mobility. OT is the discipline of life skills.
