Treatment Techniques

WHAT MAKES OUR PHYSICAL THERAPY OFFICE DIFFERENT

At Reed Medical Group, one feature that makes us stand out from the other physical therapy practices is that all of our patients receive manual therapy treatment overseen by the doctor. We believe the quickest road to recovery consists of skilled hands on treatment and plan that is tailored as you go through your recovery journey.

Below you will find additional information about some of the different treatment techniques we specialize in:

Manual Therapy

Therapists specialized in manual therapy perform mobilization and manipulation of the soft tissue and joints and various other manual therapy techniques to encourage movement. This technique takes years of experience to perfect, knowing where to apply pressure, specific movements to use, and how to tailor the technique based on the patient and injury.

Exercise

Movement is essential to one’s overall wellbeing and health. Resistance training facilitates strength and subsequently helps with injury prevention.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a treatment focused on addressing trigger points within a muscle that contribute to pain. When the needles are inserted, they stimulate your muscle, causing a decrease in pain and increase in range of motion.

Tool Assisted Mobilization

When restrictions are present and flexibility is limited, the use of tools to assist with soft tissue mobilization is very effective. We utilize a wide variety of tools and techniques such as cupping, muscle scraping stainless steel tools, ultrasound therapy, and electrical stimulation.

Balance Training

Balance is crucial to reduce the risk of falling and maintaining independence at home. Dynamic, innovative balance treatments are necessary to replicate sport specific and daily living activities.

Flexibility

Limited flexibility can be the cause of pain and a significant decrease in joint range of motion. Emphasis on restoring motion is essential to normalizing movement patterns.

Agility

Daily and sport specific activities require a certain level of agility and coordination. Both speed and control are necessary when looking to return to your recreational or professional sport.

Motor Control

Persistent pain can often lead to altered movement patterns and strength deficits. Assessing activation patterns, muscle sequencing, and recruitment is essential to restoring normal movement.

Understanding Pain

Pain can be scary, frustrating, and at times, all consuming. At Reed Medical Group, we understand that pain can affect every aspect of your life – mind, body and spirit. The first step in controlling pain is understanding where it comes from and why it occurs. Let Reed Medical Group & Physical Therapy help you navigate your pain experience and find the right solution.

Your first visit will include a physical examination, education, and treatment. Your personalized physical therapy treatment can range from manual therapy, to therapeutic exercise, to dry needling. Most patients will also recieve a home exercise program to be performed between visits to further improve and accelerate your recovery.

Resources

Our program is designed for those seeking “year-round” care that mixes physical therapy and wellness services.

This is also a great program for those without insurance who need a flexible payment plan while attending physical therapy.

Clients with high insurance deductibles can use this plan and apply it toward the deductible.
