Our General Orthopedic Program utilizes a blend of various manual therapy principles, modalities and exercises in order to assist patients in returning to their regular activities. Achieving maximum function at the earliest possible time is a primary goal.
Our Sports Medicine Program is designed to be sport specific and establishes the dual goal of restoring function and returning the athlete to competition as quickly as possible. Our sports medicine program benefits from a clinical staff that is Certified in Physical Therapy and Athletic Training.
Our Industrial Rehabilitation Program utilizes a thorough evaluation to help identify the present functional level of the injured worker. An individualized rehabilitation program utilizing exercises and work simulated activities is established to successfully return the patient to a level of physical and mental function for early return to work (RTW). Work Conditioning and Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCE) are also available in our comprehensive suite of services, designed to achieve the desired outcomes and goals for the injured employee.
Our Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) Program is designed to provide an objective assessment of the injured worker’s capacities and limitations relative to normal job function and is an important tool to determine functional levels for a safe return-to-work following an injury. Among its many features during this 4-hour test, our FCE calculates high-level decision making, including the percentage of the job the employee can perform, the level of consistency of effort and reliability of pain and, most importantly, return to work (RTW) recommendations.
Rehab Excellence Center uses the industry leading FCE platform.
Our Spine Rehabilitation Program utilizes a thorough evaluation to establish a balance of hands-on treatment, modalities and exercise, lumbar stabilization and strengthening practices. Proper Back Education is a critical element of the program while the ultimate goal is to return the patient to their highest level of function and/or employment.
Our Vestibular and Concussion Rehabilitation is a type of therapy that focuses on improving the relationship between the inner ear, brain, eyes, muscles and nerves. This therapy is typically used with post-concussion patients and designed to reduce dizziness, headaches and imbalance and involves an individualized problem-oriented approach to promote compensation and brain adaptation
Rheumatic diseases are characterized by inflammation that affects the connecting or supporting structures of the body — most commonly the joints, but also sometimes the tendons, ligaments, bones, and muscles. Some rheumatic diseases even affect the organs. These diseases can ultimately cause loss of function in those body parts and Rehab Excellence Center Physical Therapists work to address these diagnoses, utilizing both the latest educational and clinical approaches to Rheumatic Disease management. Below are 3 of the most common Rheumatic Disease conditions treated at Rehab Excellence Center
Our Rheumatoid Arthritis Program addresses the cause of inflammation in the joints, resulting in increased joint pain and immobility, especially in the feet, ankles, wrists and fingers. Physical Therapy and, specifically exercise, is a critical component in the management of Rheumatoid Arthritis symptoms and a program is specifically tailored to incorporate low impact strengthening exercises, cardiovascular conditioning, and flexibility exercises, focused on supporting healthy and efficient joints and musculature.
Our Fibromyalgia Program focuses on the typical patient’s widespread musculoskeletal pain often accompanied with other symptoms such as fatigue, depression, and issues with sleep and mood. Evidence has identified Physical Therapy as a beneficial intervention to promote both short and long-term health benefits to help manage symptoms of Fibromyalgia and chronic pain. As a result, our goal is to design a personalized approach to management of each patient’s symptoms to promote improved strength, endurance, flexibility and to decrease pain to improve each individual’s quality of life.
Our Ankylosing Spondylitis Program addresses this unique
form of spinal arthritis, that eventually causes ankylosis (joint stiffening) of vertebral and sacro-iliac joints. Over time, it’s possible for some of the small bones in your spine (vertebrae) to fuse, making the spine less flexible and if the ribs are affected, it can be difficult to breathe deeply. In an effort to improve tissue mobility and decrease the defining pain and stiffness, a treatment plan is designed to include focused stretching, exercises, and hands-on physical therapy principles.
The Graston Technique, originally developed by athletes, is changing the way physical therapists and patients view the treatment of acute and chronic soft tissue injuries. It is an innovative and patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. The technique utilizes specially designed stainless steel instruments to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.
