Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy at Balance and Mobility Therapy focuses on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving physical function through customized treatment plans. Our services include pre- and post-operative care, sports injury rehabilitation, and neurologic therapy. Patients benefit from advanced equipment like the C-Mill by Motek and Balance Master, which enhance balance and gait training. Our board-certified specialists address conditions such as arthritis, chronic pain, and musculoskeletal injuries, ensuring personalized, evidence-based care that supports long-term recovery and independence.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular Rehabilitation treats inner ear disorders causing dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues through specialized exercises and maneuvers. Certified therapists use techniques like gaze stabilization, habituation, and BPPV repositioning to alleviate symptoms. Advanced tools such as Virtual Reality and the NeuroCom Balance Master provide real-time feedback to track progress. This service helps patients regain confidence in daily activities, reduce fall risk, and improve overall quality of life. It is particularly effective for conditions like Menieres disease and vestibular neuritis.
Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic Therapy utilizes warm-water pools to provide low-impact rehabilitation for patients with joint pain, post-surgical recovery, or mobility limitations. The buoyancy of water reduces stress on joints, allowing safer, more comfortable movement. Patients perform exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health while hydrostatic pressure reduces swelling. This service is ideal for arthritis, post-injury recovery, and neurological conditions, offering a supportive environment to accelerate healing and enhance functional independence.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy focuses on helping patients regain independence in daily activities after injury, illness, or disability. Our therapists address physical, cognitive, and mental health challenges through tailored interventions. Services include hand therapy, environmental modifications, and adaptive techniques for tasks like dressing, cooking, and work-related activities. Specialized care is available for conditions such as stroke, carpal tunnel syndrome, and cerebral palsy, ensuring patients achieve optimal functional recovery and reintegration into daily life.
Speech Therapy
Speech Therapy addresses speech, language, swallowing, and cognitive-communication disorders caused by stroke, neurological conditions, or trauma. Certified therapists use techniques like VitalStim for dysphagia, LSVT LOUD for Parkinsons-related speech issues, and cognitive exercises to improve memory and attention. The program includes individualized treatment plans for articulation, voice disorders, and augmentative communication devices, helping patients restore effective communication and enhance their quality of life.
