Pre-Surgery Therapy
Pre-surgery physical therapy, also known as prehabilitation or prehab, is a proactive approach to preparing patients for surgery through targeted physical exercises and education. The goal is to optimize the patient’s physical condition before undergoing an operation, thereby enhancing the outcomes and reducing recovery time post-surgery.
Post-Surgery Therapy
Post-surgery therapy, also known as post-operative rehabilitation, is a structured program designed to help patients recover and regain function after surgery. It involves a combination of physical exercises and education tailored to the specific type of surgery and individual patient needs. The primary goals of post-surgery therapy are to reduce pain, restore mobility, strengthen muscles, and facilitate a safe and efficient return to daily activities.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues in the pelvic region. These muscles play a critical role in supporting the bladder and uterus, as well as in controlling bowel and bladder functions.
Body Mechanics & Postural Assessment
Body mechanics and postural assessment play pivotal roles in maintaining musculoskeletal health and preventing discomfort or injuries. Body mechanics involves the proper use of muscles and joints during daily activities, emphasizing efficient movement patterns and minimizing strain. This is particularly crucial in tasks like lifting, where adopting correct body mechanics can prevent back injuries. Postural assessment, on the other hand, focuses on evaluating the alignment of the body while stationary or in motion. It helps identify any deviations from optimal alignment that may contribute to pain or functional limitations. Here at Exceed we use postural assessments to design targeted interventions, such as corrective exercises, to address specific issues and improve overall posture. Whether in the workplace, during physical activities, or in rehabilitation, a mindful approach to body mechanics and regular postural assessments contribute significantly to long-term musculoskeletal well-being.
Spinal Care and Rehab
Spinal care and rehabilitation form an integral part of healthcare, addressing a spectrum of issues related to the spine’s health and function. This specialized field emphasizes the assessment, treatment, and prevention of spinal disorders, injuries, and chronic conditions. At Exceed, we employ a tailored approach that combines diagnostics, therapeutic exercises, and manual therapies to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance the overall well-being of our patients. Whether dealing with acute injuries, chronic conditions like disc herniation or degenerative disorders, or focusing on preventive measures, spinal care and rehabilitation aim to optimize the spine’s function, promoting a pain-free and resilient musculoskeletal system. This comprehensive approach not only targets immediate symptoms but also strives to restore and maintain long-term spinal health.
Vertigo Therapy
Vertigo is a sensation of spinning or dizziness, often described as feeling like the individual or the environment around them is moving when no actual movement occurs. It is a symptom rather than a condition. It can result from various underlying causes, manifesting through symptoms such as a sensation of spinning or moving, dizziness, balance problems, nausea and vomiting, sweating, abnormal eye movements (nystagmus), and hearing loss or ringing in the ears. Physical therapy can be highly beneficial for individuals suffering from vertigo.
Sports Physical Therapy
Sports physical therapy is focused on the prevention, evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries and conditions. It aims to help athletes of all levels—amateurs to professionals—recover from injuries, improve performance, and prevent future injuries.
Overuse Injuries
Overuse injury therapy involves a targeted and multidimensional approach to address the impact of repetitive strain on the musculoskeletal system. These injuries, often stemming from repetitive motions or excessive stress on specific tissues, necessitate therapeutic interventions to alleviate pain, enhance recovery, and prevent recurrence. At Exceed, we may include tailored exercise regimens to improve strength, flexibility, and biomechanics, along with manual techniques to promote tissue healing and reduce inflammation. Therapists also guide individuals in modifying activities to minimize strain on affected areas. In addition to therapeutic exercises, rest, and targeted interventions, education on proper ergonomics and training techniques is essential to prevent future overuse injuries. The holistic nature of overuse injury therapy aims not only to treat the immediate symptoms but also to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools to foster long-term musculoskeletal health and prevent recurring issues.
