Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapies are treatment focusing on helping people achieve
independence in all areas of their lives (Activities of Daily Living).
On your initial evaluation, a Licensed Occupational Therapist will review
your history and perform various tests to identify areas of dysfunction.
The synthesis of this initial evaluation enables your occupational therapist
to formulate your individualized treatment plan.
Treatment may include self-care retraining, joint mobilization, stretching,
aquatic or land based exercise, education, manual techniques and modalities,
which may include: electrical stimulation, ultrasound, ice or heat, all
focused on improving your level of function in daily life. A home exercise
program will be designed specifically for you and your condition to further
assist with your recovery.
Some people may think that occupational therapy is only for adults; children,
after all, do not have occupations. But a child's main job is playing
and learning. An occupational therapist can evaluate a child's skills
for play activities, school performance, and activities of daily living
and compare them with what is developmentally appropriate for that age
group in an effort to develop a treatment plan to address a child's needs.
According to the
American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), in addition to dealing with an individual's physical well-being,
OT practitioners address psychological, social, and environmental factors
that may hinder an individual's functioning in different ways. This
unique approach makes occupational therapy a vital part of health care
for kids and adults.

LymphedemaTherapy
Lymphedema is swelling in one or more extremities that results from impaired flow
of the lymphatic system, a network of specialized vessels throughout the
body that collect excess lymph fluid with proteins, lipids, and waste
products from the tissues. When the lymph vessels are blocked or unable
to carry lymph fluid away from the tissues, swelling (lymphedema) occurs.
Our Certified Lymphedema Therapists are specially trained and certified
in all aspects of lymphedema management for upper and lower extremities.
Services offered include:
- Comprehensive evaluation
- Manual Lymphatic Drainage
- Compression wrapping
- Measurement for compression garments
- Complete patient and caregiver education

- All sessions are in a private setting for your safety, comfort and convenience

Pelvic Floor Therapy for men and women
The Pelvic Floor is another term for the pelvic muscles that control urination, defecation,
and support the organs inside the pelvis; the bladder, the uterus in women,
and the rectum. Both men and women can have issues with the pelvic floor.
Some of these issues include:

- Painful erections
- Male pelvic pain
- Vulvodynia

Treatment
The Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Clinic has a brand new private treatment
room to make sure that you feel comfortable and safe. All treatments are
one on one for an hour with the therapist so that you get the focus and
attention that they deserve. The therapist has advanced training and certifications
in the management and treatment of these issues.
While pelvic floor dysfunction is very common, it can be treated. Most
patients experience a dramatic improvement in their quality of life after
only a few treatments. Pelvic floor physical therapy can also prevent
the need for costly and painful surgeries, as well as prevent the dependence
on medications to manage these issues. This keeps you healthy and helps
you live better.
