Services
In Home Physical Therapy
Our mobile physical therapy service brings treatment directly to patients' preferred locations. Therapists travel with all necessary equipment to provide quality one-on-one care in home environments, assessing mobility challenges within actual living spaces. This approach enables personalized home exercise program development while maintaining the same clinical standards as our Serra Mesa studio. Patients benefit from treatment continuity with the same licensed therapist throughout their rehabilitation journey.
Spinal Rehabilitation
Specialized treatment for spinal conditions including disc herniations, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis. Our therapists utilize McKenzie Method techniques and functional rehabilitation to improve mobility while educating patients on posture and body mechanics. Treatment focuses on core strengthening, pain management, and preventing future recurrence through targeted exercise programs tailored to individual spinal diagnoses.
Post Surgical Rehabilitation
Comprehensive recovery programs for post-operative patients following procedures like joint replacements, rotator cuff repairs, and spinal surgeries. Our evidence-based approach combines range-of-motion exercises, strength training, and functional retraining to restore mobility while respecting surgical precautions. Therapists coordinate care with referring physicians to ensure optimal recovery timelines and outcomes.
Pediatric Physical Therapy
Developmental therapy for infants and children with conditions like torticollis, plagiocephaly, and cerebral palsy. Our certified specialists use play-based interventions to improve motor skills, balance, and coordination while providing parental education. Treatment addresses both congenital conditions and acquired injuries through age-appropriate activities that promote normal movement patterns and functional independence.
Running Assessments
Biomechanical evaluations for runners seeking performance improvement or injury prevention. Our assessment includes video analysis of running form, footwear evaluation, and muscle testing to identify inefficiencies. Personalized training programs address specific gait abnormalities while incorporating strength and flexibility components to enhance running economy and reduce injury risk for both recreational and competitive athletes.
