Physical Therapy

At Global Health Clinic, the physical therapy program combines the latest tools and techniques designed to maximize your mobility, increase your flexibility, and manage your pain. Each patient receives a customized therapy program that utilizes a multi-disciplinary approach that is designed to provide the patient with the optimal way to regain their mobility.

The success of the program, however, largely due to our supportive staff. They take a personal interest in each patient, discussing cases with their fellow practitioners at the clinic to be sure that no stone has been left unturned regarding a patient’s treatment. We believe that this kind of dedication is the definitive reason why Global Health Clinic stands head and shoulders above the competition.

• Multi-disciplinary approach to healing
• Supportive, caring staff
• Development of individualized treatment plans
• Use of both active and passive therapy to promote faster recovery
• State-of-the-art equipment

If you’ve suffered an injury from an accident or experienced continued pain caused by a chronic condition like arthritis, you should consider how physical therapy can benefit you. A well thought out physical therapy program that combines a variety of treatments, tools and techniques can restore your mobility, increase your flexibility and balance, and make your pain more manageable.

Here at the Global Health Clinic we accomplish these objectives by focusing on the individual. We customize our therapy program to help each patient regain as much of their former mobility as possible. This means going beyond the run-of-the-mill exercise program to design a state-of-the-art physical therapy regimen that combines a multi-disciplinary approach with a well-stocked arsenal of therapeutic modalities.

Another hallmark of our brand of physical therapy is that we use a combination of both active and passive therapeutic tools in our treatment plans. Most patients are familiar with the types of strengthening exercises associated with active therapy. However, at Global we go a step further. Our one-to-one approach to active therapy allows the therapist to closely monitor a patient, which means treatment can be modified as progress is made. And since each of our therapists has their own specialty, we can cover a variety of conditions.

In addition to the active therapy, we also incorporate passive therapeutic modalities into the patient’s regimen. These tools, such as electrical stimulation, ultrasound, and cold laser, allow the therapist to use their most important piece of equipment, their hands, to increase the stimulation of muscles, which promotes quicker healing.

Our state-of-the-art equipment includes an unweighted system, a device designed to offset a percentage of the body’s mass. It consists of a vest that looks like a parachute harness that is attached to an overhead support. Placing the patient in this equipment gives the therapist control over how many pounds will be removed from the body during therapy. The less weight a patient carries while exercising, the greater the blood flow. Good circulation is critical to promoting healing.

However, in spite of all of our advanced machinery and techniques, we would not be able to achieve the success rate we do without our supportive staff. Not only do they take a personal interest in each patient, but they also spend time discussing cases with their fellow practitioners at the clinic to be sure that all bases have been covered in terms of treatment. It is this kind of dedication that raises the bar from a mechanically administered; one size fits all treatment program to a program that places the patient first.
