A Physical Therapy Toolbox for Healing
The job of the RHC Physical Therapist is to determine what your body needs to recover. Due to the holistic nature of RHC’s approach to physical therapy, we often use more than one treatment to help in your healing. Rather, we see various types of treatments as tools that we can use in varying degrees at different times depending upon a patient’s individual needs. Among the treatment types we use are the following:
Specific treatments and modalities include but are not limited to:
- Manual Therapy (Mobilization, Myofascial Release Techniques)
- Cervical & Lumbar Traction
- Electric Muscle Stimulation
- Gait Training
- Hot & Cold Packs
- Interferential Electrical Stimulation
- Iontopheresis
- Therapeutic Exercise
- Massage
- Total Knee / Total Hip Rehabilitation
- Rehabilitation for Neck / Back / Shoulder / Knee / Ankle Injuries
- Sports Rehabilitation
- Movement Evaluation
- Muscle Testing / Rehabilitation
- Range of Motion Testing / Rehabilitation
- Balance Re-Education
- Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
- Ultrasound
Trends in treatment come and go, but a solid foundation in anatomy, kinesiology and body mechanics is basic to all treatment. It takes years of experience with numerous patients for a therapist to learn how it all fits together and integrate their areas of knowledge into a comprehensive treatment plan.
