Many Peak physical therapists have received additional training and certification in specialized fields within physical therapy. Due to training and equipment, not all services described below are available in all centers. Please call us for more information.
Pain Management / Arthritis Programs
Neuromuscular rehabilitation with massages, specific exercises, and therapies including electro-therapy and psychological assistance allow the patient to reduce pain and maximize their day-to-day life experience. Arthritis sufferers are educated on preventative measures and coping skills along with exercises and joint protection.
Women's Health
Pelvic Floor Muscle rehabilitation
Chronic pelvic pain and urinary incontinence can result when muscles that support the bladder, urethra and other organs are weakened because of childbirth, aging, surgery and illness.
The Peak therapists use a systemic approach to healing incorporating biofeedback training, exercise routine, manual therapy techniques and body mechanics education
Pre- & Post-Partum Musculoskeletal Dysfunction
Motherhood and all that it involves can impose involuntary stresses on the musculo-skeletal system which may become debilitating. Common conditions are:
- Lower back pain
- Sciatica
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
- Piriformis syndrome
- Thoracic outlet syndrome
- Headache
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Post-Cesarean recovery
To assist mothers in regaining strength and function to carry out their daily activities, Peak offers comprehensive bio-mechanical evaluation and will then establish a plan of care including education of body mechanics, core stabilization and manual therapy.
Pain associated with Osteoperosis
Osteoperosis is the progression of bone loss. Osteopenia, the precursor of osteoperosis, involves the thinning and weakening of the bones. Women who suffer from these disorders are susceptible to musculoskeletal dysfunction due to postural changes.
Peak therapists will prescribe a stretching and strengthening program to help alleviate pain commonly surrounding the spine and counteract postural changes seen with both osteoperosis and osteopenia.
