What Our Patients Are Saying

“They not only found my problem but fixed it in two months.”
I have had low back pain for seven years. After numerous treatments that only masked the pain for a few weeks, I was sent to PTS. They not only found my problem but fixed it in two months. I am now 100% pain free and flexible again. Thanks!

Forrest M.

"I am released to go back to full activity and I am amazed!"
I was referred to PTS by my orthopedist after 6 shoulder dislocations. My arm was immobilized for 5 weeks and then I started therapy. Through trigger points, stretching under supervision and a gradual program of home exercises, which I did twice a day, I have 100% of my range of motion and strength back. Your knowledge, evaluation and procedure are surely responsible for my very favorable outcome!

“My surgeon suggested I try PTS, telling me they have been able to work miracles on many of his patients.”
I can’t tell you how many people I have heard complaining about aches and pains and the first thing that comes out of my mouth is “I found a wonderful physical therapist office you need to try. They listen to your concerns and find a way to help. Thank you for giving me my life back!

The Recovery Process

Learn about the 5 phases of recovery

Click on a phase number to learn more.

- Pain Relief
  
  Reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation are common goals in this phase of recovery. Injury protection, elevation, appropriate medications, compression, and patient education are important.
- Introduce Movement
  
  Pain-free passive, manual therapy, active range of motion, and cardiorespiratory exercises, are indicated here. Education about pain and a positive attitude may help.
- Strengthening
  
  Progressive loading of healing soft tissues, the reintroduction of low-stress neuromuscular reeducation, balance training, and basic functional activities are part of this rehabilitation phase.
- Functional Retraining
  
  Progressing strengthening exercises, improving flexibility, and advanced balance exercises are part of phase 4. Resuming functional movement (e.g. sports movements) occurs in this phase.
- Recovery & Prevention
  
  Functional movements are progressed, a controlled re-introduction to sports or challenging environments is initiated. Continued strengthening, flexibility, balance, endurance, and goal-specific training occurs during this phase. Education and future injury prevention are discussed.
