Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy

Our wellness centers in New Jersey have professionally trained experts in the knowledge of anatomy, physiology and the biomechanics of the body. They know how to get you out of pain and back in action from their extensive knowledge and training in biomechanics, anatomy and physiology. A hands-on approach is used in conjunction with specific modalities.

Some common modalities include:

  • Manual Therapy: This hands-on approach consists of myofascial release techniques, soft tissue and joint mobilization/manipulation stretching of restricted structures and specific strengthening of weak muscles, muscle energy as well as Mulligan and McKenzie techniques. These will help restore the back, neck or other painful areas and youthful pain-free resilience.
  • Therapeutic Exercises: Customized exercises to improve movement and proper muscle balance. These may include strengthening, stretching and stabilizing restricted structures to restore normal pain free ROM.
  • Pain Management: Use of cryotherapy, ultrasound, electric stimulation, moist heat, phonophoresis, iontophoresis and massage.
  • Electrical Stimulation: Electric Muscle Stimulation can diminish pain by stimulating nerve fibers found deep in the skin, as well as, reducing muscle spasm and enhancing the healing process.
  • Ultrasound: Use of sound waves to penetrate into the deep layers of the muscle to reduce inflammation, edema and pain and increase circulation to the area applied.
  • Postural Corrections: This addresses postural exercise, behavior modification and self-awareness. Musculoskeletal derangements are corrected.
  • Home Exercise Program: A short detailed exercise program that corresponds to the appropriate stage of condition may be present. This would include the do’s and don’ts of self-management.
