How is Core Physical Therapy Different?

Hello and welcome to Core Physical Therapy. Core Physical Therapy prides itself on offering rehabilitation services that are considerably advanced and effective for the treatment of arthritis, chronic pain, recurrent injuries, vertigo, and difficult to treat back pain. The difference with Core Physical Therapy is that we use an extensive and open evaluative process in order to discover the causative factor to your pain rather than solely address the pain itself. This idea of getting to the core to help correct a dysfunction that causes pain created the name and mission of Core Physical Therapy.

The treatment strategy is exciting and progressive. Techniques are specific to your dysfunction and may include massage, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, strain counter strain, muscle energy technique, joint mobilization, neural tissue tension techniques, neuromuscular techniques, treatment of Chapman's reflexes, orthotic fabrication, deep tissue massage, specific and progressive exercise, and most importantly education.

We believe that the patient is the best therapist and we work with you to discover the root cause of your pain. We will explain to you how your body works and attempts to compensate around old injuries and illnesses. By correcting those compensations your pain will decrease and mobility and function will improve. It is the goal to reduce tight tissues, subluxed joints and spasm and therefore improve the body's ability to perform physiologically. Physical Therapy can not help tissues that are irreversibly damaged such as a torn ligament or severed nerves but we can improve the function of neighboring areas to provide better function by decreasing the workload of the permanently damaged area.

Our patients typically enjoy the common sense approach to treatment and often witness immediate benefit. Most often patients are discharged feeling better than before they were injured or developed their complaint.

If you are interested in utilizing our services it is necessary to obtain a prescription from your physician to insure that Core Physical Therapy is right for you. Your first appointment will be one hour in length alone with your physical therapist. You should dress comfortably, preferably in shorts and loose fitting T-shirt.
