Feedback:
- User selects parameters
- Simple to understand
- Visual and auditory cues
- Records treatment for playback
- Generates printable report
Universal Exercise Unit
A universal suspension system uses belts and elastic cords to give the client the support that is needed to maintain a position without assistance. This enables the client to perform exercises with full or partial weight-bearing.
Promotes:
- Strength and flexibility
- Balance
- Post-traumatic rehabilitation
- Motor learning
- Movement
- Sensory integration
Outcomes:
- Increase muscle strength
- Prevent atrophies and contractures
- Increase passive and active range of motion
- Improve balance and coordination
- Improve muscle flexibility
Exercises:
- Crawling
- Standing
- Jumping
Stott Reformer
A reformer is used in pilates-style therapy. The reformer offers support to the client during their therapy session. This movement-based approach has improved accessibility and adaptability in your treatment session.
Movement:
- Latest research in exercise science
- Newer fitness practices
- Biomechanics
- Functional fitness
- Core-integrated bodyweight training
- Mindful movement
Exercises for:
- Injury prevention
- Rehabilitation
- Full-body therapy
- Systemic approach
Principles:
- Observe and understand ideal movement strategies
- Analyze inferior movements
- Correlate movement with pain and pathology
- Layer exercise to design effective programming
Surface Electromyography
A sEMG is used when a client has symptoms of a muscle or nerve disorder. This helps determine if there is a muscle disorder, a nerve disorder, or findings related to inflammation from an injury.
Indicators:
- Tingling
- Numbness
- Muscle weakness
- Muscle pain or cramping
- Paralysis
- Twitching
Underlying Conditions:
- Muscle disorders
- Motor neuron disorders
- Radiculopathies
- Peripheral nerve disorders
- Nerve disorders
Findings:
- Electrodes measure nerve signals
- Evaluates signal communication
- A computer translates signals into graphs or numerical findings
Augmented Reality
Virtual reality is quickly becoming a mainstream activity. Using this in therapy is an engaging way to treat clients in their recovery and rehabilitation. Our therapists can customize the therapy session to the client’s needs with this virtual tool. The success of the therapy involves two elements: Extended therapy practice and Progression of difficulty.
Functional Goals:
- Eating
- Oral hygiene
- Sit to stand
- Standing endurance
- Balance
- Range of motion
- Activity tolerance
Outcomes:
- Tailors to client needs
- Track progress
- Documents gains
- Automated data
- Demonstrates the value of therapy
- Enhance functional outcomes
Enhances Therapy:
- Increases engagement
- Enhances outcomes
- Automates reporting
- Enjoyable experience for clients
MediTouch HandTutor
Used in physical and occupational therapy, this gives our therapists information about the function of your fine motor skills in your fingers and wrists. An apparatus connected to a glove gives data related to your limitations.
Indications:
- Stroke
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Cerebral Palsy
- Parkinson’s disease
- Head injuries
- Regional pain
Outcomes:
- Evaluates speed
- Range of motion
- Motion analysis
- Documents and reports data
- Real-time performance feedback
- Motivates and challenges the client
Enhances Therapy:
- Increases active movement ability
- Assisted active practice
- Improves fine motor movement
- Improves sensory movement
- Improves cognitive impairments
Giger MD
The Giger therapy session is a highly effective technique that uses full-body movements. The coordinated movements will engage more than 30,000 joint articulations giving amazing results. Significant improvement is seen in motor, vegetative, and higher mental functions.
Indications:
- Damages to the central nervous system
- Osteoarthritis
- Circulatory disorders
- Joint and back problems
Outcomes:
- Best physiological position for the client’s needs
- Limbs are kinematically connected to each other
- Guided body movements
Principles:
- Changes neural network through relearning
- Utilizes phase and frequency for organization
- Stimulates and controls the formation of new nerve cells
- Central Nervous System re-learning
Dry Needling
A dry needling session treats muscles and trigger points that are causing pain or discomfort. Filiform needles are used by the therapist, inserting the needles into the trigger points of your muscle tissue. This can be used to treat painful conditions systemwide.
Provides Relief:
- Muscle pain
- Stiffness
- Improved flexibility
- Increased range of motion
- Normalizes dysfunction
Stimulates:
- Underlying myofascial trigger point
- Oxygen-deprived scar tissue
- Twitch reflex to decrease muscle contraction
- Reduces irritation
- Improves blood circulation
- Activates the immune system
- Reduction in inflammation throughout the body
Uses:
- Fibromyalgia
- Sports injuries
- Muscle pain
- Migraines
- Carpal tunnel
- TMJ
- Tendonitis
