Women’s Health physical therapy helps with those that suffer from problems with sexual in*******se, urination, fertility, pre-pregnancy recovery, post-pregnancy recovery, and cancer recovery. Effects of these conditions include chronic constipation, chronic coughing, pelvic pain, muscle tension, and urinary/bowel incontinence. Exercises used to treat these conditions include pelvic strengthening, manual therapy, posture techniques and patient education. Pre and post-pregnancy therapy is an important part of pregnancy recovery. Stretching your hip muscles, strengthening pelvic floor muscles, and correcting your posture all contribute in pregnancy recovery. Our physical therapists work with patients on a personal and confidential level to provide the best form of Women’s Health physical therapy possible.

Many patients who have hip surgery will often be assigned physical therapy before and after the surgery. This aids the patient to a full recovery. Anyone experiencing hip pain may also be referred to physical therapy by a physician. Hip therapy involves managing/correcting symptoms and increasing hip mobility. Much like the knee, the hip is a major weight bearing joint, which is why hip arthritis is a commonly diagnosed problem. The hip is also prevalent in every day functional tasks. Having pain when you walk, sit or climb stairs makes normal tasks more difficult and impedes on your quality of life.

Chronic pain is now considered a disease all on its own due to the impact it has, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has advanced recognition and treatment of chronic pain with two classifications: chronic primary pain and chronic secondary pain.

If you are one of the millions with chronic pain, learn about its causes and the treatments and management strategies you can use for relief.

Team Rehabilitation therapists will perform an initial evaluation to determine the source or sources of cervical pain and will develop a plan of treatment based on these results. For example, heat/cold treatments, deep tissue massages, electrical stimulation, and ultrasound treatments are all common treatment options for Neck/Cervical Therapy.

Kinesio Taping/Rocktape are therapeutic taping techniques that have been in use for many years to promote healing. These methods utilize a latex-free tape that is able to be worn for 3-5 days. The tape is strategically applied in order to ease pain, encourage the natural healing process of the body, stabilize & balance muscles and joints without restricting range of motion, and promote a reduction in the inflammation of an affected area. Because the tape is able to be left on for a few days, the benefits provided by manual therapy and soft tissue mobilization by your therapist are continued well after you leave the clinic. Kinesio Tape/Rocktape can to be applied in many ways to many areas and can be used to treat a wide variety of injuries and symptoms. By changing the shape, direction, and amount of stretch incorporated into the placement, your therapist can target your specific needs. Whether you are looking to reduce pain, lessen inflammation, promote circulation, prevent injury, or optimize performance, a certified taping practitioner can help.

Compression stockings or socks are used to treat leg swelling and varicose veins. They’re also helpful for athletes and people who stand for long periods.

Compression stockings are a common sight in nursing homes and hospital patients recovering from surgery. Now they're trendy on social media—but should you get a pair? Here's what experts say.

Team Rehab’s Post COVID-19 Recovery Program is designed to help patients, using medically supervised therapy, so they may regain strength, respiratory function and resume normal lifestyle. Throughout the therapy sessions a patient’s heart rate, oxygen saturation and blood pressure are carefully monitored and that data is used to maintain a safe and effective recovery program.

Functional Dry Needling, sometimes called Trigger Point Dry Needling, is a manual therapy technique that uses a thin needle to pe*****te the skin and stimulate trigger points in muscular and connective tissue. Recent research shows that dry needling can cause rapid reductions in pain and improvements in range of motion. The researchers studied 17 patients. All patients’ neck pain began within 7 days of the start of the study. Half of the patients received trigger point dry needling treatment, and the other half received no treatment. The patients who received the dry needling had better results. Immediately after the treatment, their pain decreased by 33%. One week after the treatment, their pain was 66% less. Also, those patients treated with dry needling were better able to bend their heads forward and backward and to turn their heads toward the painful side of their necks. In the previous study, dry needling was used alone without other physical therapy interventions. Another study examined the use of dry needling in conjunction with exercise and other physical therapy interventions for proximal hamstring tendinopathy. This study found that dry needling gives similar improvements. Over 20 of Team Rehabilitation Physical Therapists have been trained and certified in dry needling. If you have problems with pain and mobility that may be traced to trigger points, talk to your doctor and see if he/she feels that dry needling is the right treatment for you.
