The purpose of the licensed Physical Therapists at Axis Physical Therapy is to help give people the opportunity to stand back and really look at all the facets of their lives and see how they are interrelated. To achieve these goals, each of the Therapists evaluates the patient and condition/disease to assist nature in the course of treatment. We see patients on an individual basis developing programs for each person depending on their needs.
Specific exercises are taught to the patient to stretch or strengthen certain muscle groups. These are to be done in the clinic as well as at home. Ancillary techniques may also be used, including a TENS unit, muscle stimulators and ultrasound. Relaxation and breathing exercises may also be taught.
Warm water aquatic therapy may also be indicated as well. if massage therapy is indicated, direct soft-tissue manipulative techniques which will improve abnormal musculoskeletal physiology allowing the patient to actively participate in their exercise program will be performed by our Licensed Physical Therapists or Licensed Massage Therapists.
The physical therapists are specialists in ASTYMTM, Augmented Soft Tissue Mobilization, which has fabulous outcomes for tendonitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, etc. by offering all of these options, the patient finds out there are many things they can do to help themselves get through their program and heal quickly.
Patients are offered a low-cost after-care individualized exercise program in our gym and pool after discharge from physical therapy. Developing good habits with exercise is important but difficult. Many people utilize this service because they feel more safe in exercising in the clinic with familiar equipment.
We are open on Monday-Thursday from 9am - 7pm and Friday - Saturdays from 9am - 5pm.
