Evidence Physical Therapy

Our staff of physical therapists have helped many people restore their facial symmetry. Our PTs have used treatments that include but are not limited to, facial muscles exercises, facial muscles, re-education, biofeedback, electrical stimulation of the facial muscles and the nerve.

We have a concussion program where we have our patients log their symptoms daily and they are given a custom tailored program for their concussion rehabilitation using the latest protocols per the sport they play ( if applicable). We also perform a Buffalo Concussion Treadmill test to determine their particular heart rate threshold and progress them safely per protocol.

We do treat balance and movement disorders using proprioception and balance training exercises and activities. We specialize in balance and inner ear conditions. The most common conditions we treat are Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, and Vestibular Hypofunction. Most types of dizziness are treatable with physical therapy (PT). If it is a type that needs follow up with a Neurologist (an ear nose and throat doctor that specializes in dizziness) or a Neurologist (such as Arnold Chiari malformation) We will let the patient know where to go. Our physical therapists hold a comprehensive vestibular rehabilitation certificate. Read more here (https://evidencept.com/physical-therapy-treatments/balance-therapy-fall-prevention/)

The Alter-G (also known as the Anti-Gravity treadmill) is a special treadmill used in rehabilitation, built after NASA technology. We use this equipment in our practice to help patients who suffer from ankle, foot, hip, obesity, knee pain or back pain to regain normal walking pattern. This special treadmill helps the patient’s treatment without the harsh foot to treadmill impact experienced by the effect of gravity. When on the Alter-G treadmill, the impact of your body weight could be reduced up to about 80% as compared when walking on land or on a regular treadmill.

Yes we do. The most common conditions we treat are Benign Paroxysmal Position Vertigo, and Vestibular Hypofunction. Most types of dizziness are treatable with PT.

It is a partial body weight support system. Patients that could not run or jog due to balance disorders, weakness or intolerance to weight bearing have the opportunity to work on getting stronger to improve their ability to walk independently or return to recreational running or jogging.

We have a pulse oximeter in every clinic to measure heart rate and blood oxygenation and every clinic has a blood pressure. For our concussion patients we perform a Buffalo Concussion Treadmill test to determine their particular heart rate threshold and progress them safely per protocol. We ask that diabetic patients bring their glucometer with them to therapy to monitor with blood sugar as it can decrease with exercise and that they not take their insulin right before they come to therapy otherwise their blood sugar will drop too rapidly.

The Alter G is used for anyone who would benefit from the movement and strengthening that comes from walking but for whatever reason cannot tolerate full weight bearing on their legs. For example a person that cannot run due to knee pain with the motion can do so on an Alter G as their is less body weight on their knee. The Smartfit is used for neurological conditions, orthopedic conditions and can help our patients with cognitive changes as well. The activities you can do with the system range from low level to high level physical and mental training.

A session cal last 30-60 minutes long, but again it is all dependent on your condition and the plan of care that you have.

It all depends on your injury/condition and what the PT's advice. Your physician and PT will work together to see plan of care will work well for your specific condition. Every patient is different and every plan of care will also be different.

We recommend you wear comfortable clothes that you and the PT will be comfortable in working together. You will be doing light exercises and we recommend wearing sneakers just in-case you are told to get on the treadmill.

We sanitize all the equipment used in our gym after every use and we wash the pillow cases used by patients everyday.
