Services
PTs are the primary providers for any orthopedic pain or injury.
We treat any body part and any problems with joints, muscles, or nerves that affect function of those in any age group from kids to older adults.
PT has shown to be an effective treatment for problems affecting human strength, endurance, power, mobility, balance, posture, motor control, neurological integrity, aerobic endurance, proprioception, and conditions involving pain and/or inflammation.
Some manual techniques include massage, trigger point and ART-style release, instrument assisted soft tissue massage, and joint mobilizations including thrust mobilization (known as manipulation) as needed.

Before surgery - To address joint motion loss, weak muscles, poor movement patterns, and pain which typically worsen leading up to the surgery.

Physical Therapists hold a doctorate-level degree in their field and are the musculoskeletal experts in health care.
Part of their expertise includes screening and recognizing when there are red flags in symptom presentation that warrant a referral to another healthcare professional.
There is a DIRECT ACCESS law which varies from state to state, but in PA, removes the requirement of a physician referral for access to physical therapists' services for evaluation and treatment.
