One thing remains consistent amongst Focus’s therapists, and that is our basic assessment and treatment approach. Here’s a closer look at what your first visit for physical therapy would look like.
Initial Evaluation
We believe that most pain, inflammation, and weakness of musculoskeletal origin is caused by faulty biomechanics during movement and daily postures. These are caused by pockets of restriction and blockage to circulation, nerve conduction, and therefore healing potential that exist throughout the body. These areas need to be identified properly during the initial evaluation and treatment session. During the first visit, the physical therapist performs a comprehensive evaluation of the entire musculoskeletal system. All faulty postures, poor movement patterns, and structural problems are identified.
Correct the Entrapments and Mechanical Dysfunctions
All of our therapists are highly trained manual therapy specialists. Skilled hands and observant eyes will find areas of nerve entrapment, decreased circulation, and movement obstructions. These are corrected using different styles of manipulation including passive and active myofascial release, joint manipulations, and stretching. This eliminates entrapment and restores normal movement and optimal function.
Maintain Flexibility and Build Strength
From day one, specific stretching programs are incorporated to increase flexibility, relieve pain of tissue entrapment, and increase range of motion. Pilates, yoga and other therapeutic exercises are used to re-educate muscles, strengthen, and build core stability
Whether it is post-surgical rehabilitation or pain of mysterious origin, the body is assessed and treated in its entirety.
