pilates rehabilitation is the newest niche in physical therapy

Pilates rehabilitation is the newest niche in Physical Therapy. We feel it is the best because it offers the integration of the core during therapeutic exercises as well as the application of lengthening while strengthening principles. It is a holistic approach to rehabilitation exercises. The best Physical Therapy exercise incorporates this whole body treatment and as such, technique of the exercise is emphasized to include all components of the injured body part, as well as the rest of the body in postural correction.

Functional training is our specialty. It is the application of exercises that mimics activities of daily living. It is also one of the Best Physical Therapy exercise techniques because it uses your own body weight and typically requires minimal to no additional exercise equipment. The exercises are multi-joint, multi-muscle exercises. They are primarily closed kinetic chain exercises where the distal extremity (hand or foot) is fixed. It is the best exercise prescription for those with a busy lifestyle as well as those without access to a gym facility.

Modalities and taping are the best adjuncts to Physical Therapy. They do not heal you, but they speed healing and assist with pain relief. The use of hot or cold packs, electrical stimulation and tape to address pain and inflammation, as well as movement mean you can heal more quickly. Modalities assist in increasing local circulation and reducing pain or inflammation. Taping techniques assist in muscle contraction, muscle relaxation, reduction in swelling or bracing or a joint. Both can add to your treatment so that you have the Best Physical Therapy experience.
