Our Philosophy
We at Rise Above Physical Therapy believe that an individual’s health and well being is one of the most important aspects of our lives. For those who may be suffering from serious injury or disease, we understand the anxiety and uncertainty that this creates by disrupting and interfering with your activities of daily living. You may wonder if things will ever be the same for you.
Will your performance with previous activities be challenged?
Will you have to adapt in some way, shape or form?
How long will your recovery take?
What should your expectations be?
Professional Care, Superior Facilities, Personal Experience.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy encompasses a wide range of treatment methodologies for illnesses, injuries and other conditions and disease processes.
Inflammatory Care
Inflammation is part of the bodies defense system that plays a vital role in the healing process. Virtually everything that we treat in Physical Therapy is connected to one of the two types of inflammatory categories: Acute and Chronic.
Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy is great for people that are not ready or able to perform land based exercises. The buoyancy of the water reduces the stress placed on the joints, and also works well with overweight individuals. The viscosity of water provides resistance for strengthening muscles with much less stress than if performed on land.
Sports Medicine
Sports Medicine therapy is specific for sports-related injuries. We provide sports specific conditioning programs as well as providing education for injury prevention and quick recovery from injuries.
Stretching
Overall mobility and flexibility play a vital role in improving and maintaining activities of daily living. Rise Above Physical Therapy provides stretching services while incorporating deep tissue techniques to improve your overall flexibility promoting better mobility for everyday tasks, sports performance, and general well being.
