Stroke
We will help you in your journey of recovery by working to restore your ability to walk, taking care of yourself, enjoying activities with your family and overall help you to regain your strength.
Balance
Losing your balance is not automatic with aging. Have you fallen or feel like you lose your balance easily? We can help through an assessment to determine your specific needs for strengthening areas for fall prevention.
Vestibular & Vertigo Disorders
BPPV is a condition that can come onspontaneously causing severe dizziness for bursts of seconds. Often times this is experienced when getting out of bed, looking up, or bending forward. We treat BPPV (often called vertigo) and other various vestibular disorders affecting balance and movement through a specific program designed for your symptoms.
Gait & Balance Disorders
Many things can disturb your ability to walk indoors and outdoors, climb stairs, and maintain balance while going about your every day life. Physical Therapists are movement specialists who are trained to keep you safe while challenging your body enough to adapt. These adaptations will make movement easier, safer, and help foster a more active lifestyle.
Long COVID
Recovering from COVID can take time and Physical Therapists are well-placed to support those with long COVID in the management of your symptoms. In the absence of a cure, we provide strategies to reduce the impact of persistent symptoms on your life. Occupational Therapists can assist, as well, in working with you to help in your daily routine by conserving energy while you are recovering. This allows you to maximize your function and participation in the process.
Geriatric Deconditioning
As one ages, it can be harder to get back to full function after an illness or injury. We will help you return to your prior level in a safe and effective way by systematically dosing a fun exercise program that is closely monitored.
