Our Services
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy in Alamo involves manual therapy, exercises, and modalities like ultrasound therapy or hot and cold therapies. The experts here will implement a series of techniques to have you on your way to feeling better. We treat a wide range of conditions- chronic pain disorders, workplace injuries, sports injuries, post-surgical rehab etc.
Active release therapy(ART) is a form of manual therapy that has benefitted thousands with musculoskeletal concerns—from muscle strains and sprains to chronic pain, athletic injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome to even repetitive stress injuries of the neck, back, and shoulder—the central areas of the body. In general, ART is beneficial for sports injuries—especially overuse injuries. In addition, it helps a lot with injuries from nerve compressions—whether in the wrist or the elbow.
Pilates
We offer physical therapy pilates (or rehab pilates), which is suitable for anyone recovering (injury or post-surgery), senior citizens, those who perform sports regularly, those who are pregnant, those who have just given birth, persons with chronic pain, and even anyone looking for better overall wellness. But why not attend a regular Pilates, Barre, or yoga class if someone is hurt? Because the average instructor isn't equipped to teach rehabilitative movement safely and effectively. Thus, a regular class may aggravate existing pains and cause injury.
We have licensed and certified physical practitioners who can execute a safe and effective Pilates class for the best outcome. The physical therapists in Alamo, CA, execute a full assessment to create a customized Rehabilitation Pilates program based on each client's needs and desires. The client's history of injury, present concerns, and diagnosis are assessed to see whether Rehab Pilates is the best course of action.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation/Sports Injury Treatment/Sports Therapy
While engaging in sports is a healthy way to work out various muscle groups in the body, injuries are an inevitable part of the game—but when injuries occur, it's a shame not to get back to full strength or be able to play the game ever again down the line. But with effective physical therapy, that's not true! Every athlete who comes into our facility for care will be ensured a custom approach to achieve the best possibility for injury rehabilitation and sustaining previously achieved performance levels before injury.
As with any injury, response time to treatment will differ—but the person in charge of treatment—your licensed physical therapist—will convey what guidelines must be followed to ensure the fastest recovery back to pre-injury levels of ability with the sport. Regardless of where you are treated, your physical therapy regimen is almost guaranteed to feature manual therapy, exercise, and modalities (RICE - rest, ice, heat).
Physical therapy in Alamo, CA, focuses on restoring strength and balance after injury and restoring range of motion. Furthermore, treatment reduces pain and encourages effective healing, allowing for proper tertiary function so that the pain does not return.
Running gait analysis
We offer a running gait assessment. Using high-speed cameras and force plates to biomechanical software, our experts analyze your running gait—foot strike, cadence, and biomechanics. Then, armed with information about your running past and future intentions, we take corrective measures for any deficiencies with a blend of exercise, ambulation re-training, and strengthening & flexibility exercises. You should also learn about our bulletproof runner program, which is targeted training for runners (novice and experienced) to achieve their goals injury-free.
Pelvic floor therapy
When you come in for pelvic floor therapy, our health practitioners will perform a comprehensive assessment to start. After the overall evaluation, the experts will develop a customized treatment plan that includes hands-on adjustments and targeted, personalized exercises tailored to your body—Kegels, stretches core stabilization, and posture correction. Furthermore, patient awareness is essential in our pelvic rehabilitation; knowing the correct posture, specific functional movements, and body mechanics is integral to preventing unwanted stress on your pelvic floor muscles.
Blood Flow Restriction Training
Physical therapists in Alamo, CA are experts in blood flow restriction training for injury rehabilitation or strength and endurance enhancement. Essentially, blood flow restriction training is just as it sounds—blood flow to the extremities is restricted, resulting in increased metabolites in the muscle, increased tensile strength and muscle growth, and expedited recovery from injury. Blood flow restriction training is not an at-home venture with random pressures applied to one's body. We, as trained and certified professionals, do this because we have all the means to test every single client to know what pressure is beneficial yet safe.
To get started on any of these programs, you can request or book an appointment now. Contact us today and experience the best in physical therapy in Alamo!
