Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is a broad-ranging health care profession focused on helping people restore functional activities that have been lost or compromised because of illness or injury.
Post Surgical Rehabilitation
The experts at First Choice Physical Therapy can make you aware of what to expect prior to your joint replacement surgery and afterwards, we will work with you to regain motion and ensure there is no lasting disability.
Sports Injuries
Our services are focused on young and adult athletes and are broad-ranging, including a return to golf program which can dynamically improve your swing (but not necessarily your score).
Spine (Spinal Mobilizations/Manipulations)
In the United States, about 90 percent of people will experience severe back and neck pain at some point in their lives.
Shoulders, Knees, Hips, Ankles, Elbows and Wrists
Joint injuries can keep you from your favorite sport and the active lifestyle you love. We can help you heal and rebuild strength and flexibility as well as show you how to minimize your chance of re-injury.
Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Our physical therapists are highly trained and licensed to provide expert advice and treatment for injuries and conditions that impact the body’s ability to function effectively and pain-free.
TMJ Program
Pain in the temporomandibular joint which connects your jaw to the temporal bones of your skull can occur following an injury such as a heavy blow or whiplash, or from teeth grinding, arthritis or stress.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy, which was made popular by swimmer Michael Phelps in the 2016 Olympics, is used for myofascial purposes to help promote healing as well as decrease restrictions throughout the muscles and fascia of the body.
Work Related Injuries
We are experienced in the treatment of injured workers, offering a full range of rehabilitative services. Initially we will meet with you to assess your injuries and prescribe a full course of therapy.
Functional Capacity Evaluations
A functional capacity evaluation means an assessment of your ability to perform certain jobs capably. It is an essential phase as well in most workers’ compensation or disability claims.
