Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation
Physical therapy can help restore strength, mobility, balance, and function following an injury, surgery, illness, or other condition that affects movement. At Easy Reach Chiropractic & Physical Therapy, our physical therapy programs are individualized based on each patient’s evaluation, functional limitations, recovery goals, and specific needs. We provide rehabilitation for orthopedic injuries, post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, motor vehicle accident injuries, work-related injuries, and other conditions at our Lake Worth and Fort Lauderdale locations.
Conditions & Areas We Treat
Physical therapy may be appropriate for a wide range of orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions that affect strength, mobility, balance, coordination, and everyday function. Treatment is individualized based on the patient’s diagnosis, evaluation findings, activity level, and rehabilitation goals.
Areas and conditions we commonly address include neck and back pain, shoulder and knee injuries, hip pain, arthritis, muscle strains and sprains, sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, motor vehicle accident injuries, work-related injuries, balance and gait problems, hand and wrist conditions, and foot and ankle injuries.
Post-Surgical & Injury Rehabilitation
Physical therapy can play an important role in restoring movement, strength, flexibility, and function following surgery or injury. Rehabilitation is progressed according to the patient’s condition, healing stage, physician recommendations when applicable, examination findings, and individual recovery goals.
At Easy Reach Chiropractic & Physical Therapy, physical therapy rehabilitation may address orthopedic and post-surgical conditions involving the spine, shoulders, hips, knees, hands, wrists, feet, and ankles, as well as injuries related to sports, motor vehicle accidents, and workplace activities. Treatment may include therapeutic exercise, strengthening, mobility and flexibility training, balance activities, gait training, manual therapy, and progressive functional activities.
Work Conditioning & Work Hardening
Easy Reach Chiropractic & Physical Therapy provides work-focused physical therapy rehabilitation for injured workers who need to improve their ability to safely perform the physical demands of their jobs. Work conditioning and work hardening programs are designed around the worker’s functional abilities, job requirements, injury, and return-to-work goals.
Programs may include progressive strengthening, endurance and cardiovascular conditioning, lifting and carrying, pushing and pulling, squatting, bending, reaching, climbing, balance, and other functional activities. When appropriate, treatment can incorporate job-specific tasks that simulate the physical demands the worker may encounter when returning to work.
Progress is monitored throughout the rehabilitation program, with treatment advanced according to the worker’s tolerance, functional improvement, and established goals. Our focus is to help injured workers improve strength, endurance, mobility, and functional capacity for a safe and successful return to work.
What to Expect During Physical Therapy
Your physical therapy program begins with an evaluation of your symptoms, movement, strength, mobility, balance, functional limitations, and rehabilitation goals. This information helps the physical therapist develop an individualized treatment plan based on your specific needs.
As treatment progresses, exercises and functional activities may be advanced according to your response and improvement. Your physical therapist will monitor your progress and adjust the rehabilitation program as needed to help improve strength, mobility, endurance, and overall function.
Returning to Work, Sports & Daily Activities
Physical therapy is designed not only to address pain and mobility limitations, but also to help patients safely return to the activities that matter most to them. Rehabilitation may focus on the functional demands of work, sports, exercise, household responsibilities, and other daily activities.
At Easy Reach Chiropractic & Physical Therapy, treatment is progressed according to each patient’s functional goals and response to care. Depending on the patient’s needs, rehabilitation may include strengthening, endurance training, balance, coordination, lifting, carrying, reaching, bending, gait training, and other task-specific activities to support a safe return to normal function.
