Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services address pain, mobility limitations, and functional impairments through individualized treatment plans. Licensed therapists employ hands-on techniques combined with evidence-based modalities like electrical stimulation and ultrasound therapy. We treat pre and post-surgical patients with specialized rehabilitation programs to restore strength, flexibility, and mobility while preventing future injuries.
Manual Therapy
Specialized manual therapy techniques include soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilizations, and myofascial release to alleviate pain and improve range of motion. Our certified practitioners target musculoskeletal conditions affecting necks, backs, extremities, and joints through hands-on interventions. This approach effectively addresses both acute injuries and chronic pain conditions without pharmaceutical dependency.
Spinal Decompression
FDA-approved spinal decompression therapy treats disc herniations, sciatica, and chronic back pain through computer-controlled traction. This non-surgical treatment reduces pressure on spinal discs while promoting healing through targeted decompression. Combined with physical therapy exercises, it improves mobility and alleviates nerve-related pain for long-term recovery.
Post-Surgical Rehab
Comprehensive post-surgical rehabilitation follows surgeon-recommended protocols for joint replacements, ligament repairs, and spinal procedures. Our therapists provide pain management, gait training, and functional strengthening while maintaining direct communication with surgical teams. The program includes pre-surgical conditioning to optimize outcomes and accelerate recovery timelines.
Fall Prevention Program
The Safe Steps fall prevention program combines balance assessments, gait analysis, and strength training for seniors at risk of falls. Based on CDC guidelines, it includes home safety evaluations and customized exercise regimens to improve stability and confidence. Medicare-accepted services focus on reducing fall-related injuries through targeted rehabilitation.
Questions
Do I need a referral to start physical therapy?
New York operates under direct access laws, allowing physical therapy evaluation without physician referral. However, insurance requirements may vary, so check with our office regarding specific coverage plans.
What should I wear to physical therapy sessions?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows access to treated areas. Athletic shoes are recommended for mobility-focused treatments, while specific attire may be advised for spinal or post-surgical rehabilitation.
Are services covered by insurance?
We accept most major insurance plans including Medicare, workers' compensation, and No-Fault auto insurance. Verification occurs before treatment initiation, with prior authorization obtained when required by your specific policy.
What is the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill?
This NASA-derived technology reduces body weight impact during walking/running through precise unweighting, enabling pain-free rehabilitation. It's particularly effective for lower extremity injuries, post-surgical recovery, and gait retraining without joint stress.
How long do typical therapy sessions last?
Initial evaluations usually require 45-60 minutes. Follow-up sessions vary from 30-75 minutes depending on treatment complexity, with post-surgical patients typically receiving longer, more intensive therapy sessions.
