 Star Physical Therapy
is an education center to guide you to the road to recovery. The
more patients understand about their bodies, the better they are
able to participate in the physical therapy process and the better
the results are.
Back and Neck Care:
We have an extensive history in working with people with musculoskeletal and spinal problems.
Whether your problem started yesterday, 6 months ago or 10 years ago, we can help determine the best PT treatment options for you to get you on the road to healthy living. We use hands-on manual
techniques, exercise instruction, and education
on proper movement, posture and ergonomics to help you solve and manage your problem. Core and trunk stabilization exercise is extremely important to effectively manage your back and neck, shoulder, or hip problems. You will be given a specific exercise program to build the core strength you need and the flexibility to move without pain. Analysis of your walking or running patterns are often important in solving your problem.
Pre- and
Post-Operative Spinal Surgery: We have been doing pre- and post-operative rehabilitation for people having spinal surgery for more than 20 years and are successful in assisting people return to their normal lives after surgery.
Aquatic Therapy:
We have a 15’ by 40’ pool kept at 94 degrees for your comfort. Aquatic therapy at STAR uses the warm water’s natural therapeutic properties to improve your movement in a way that may be difficult out of the water. The natural buoyancy of water offers support for the body by diminishing the effects of gravity. With a depth of 3.5 to 5 feet, and supervision by a highly qualified staff, even those who are afraid of the water or cannot swim can rehabilitate comfortably and safely.
Sports Injuries and
Overuse Injuries: We can assist you in your rapid return to function after an injury. Whether it just happened, has been going on for years, or has resulted in surgery, let us help you return to function.
Motor Vehicle
Accidents: There is good quality life after car accidents! Let us help you get through your pain and rehabilitate the weakened and painful muscles that happen when you are injured in a collision. We use techniques that are proven through research to be effective in your rehabilitation.
 Work Injuries:
We want to help you get over your pain and return to your life as soon as possible. As your symptoms improve you will be guided in return to safe functional activities including work, recreation and household activities.
Osteoporosis: Exercise can help improve your upright posture, and over time, improve your bone density or keep it from further deterioration. Fall prevention exercise and balance work are also important.
Fall Prevention:
Falls are dangerous! We can assess your risk for falls, and teach you strengthening and balance exercises to lessen your likelihood of falling. We can also teach you how to improve your home environment to decrease your risk of falling at home.
Arthritis: Research shows that physical therapy can help reduce the pain of arthritis and help you to move easier and more comfortably.
Fibromyalgia: We offer an excellent fibromyalgia education program which, coupled with aquatic instruction helps patients deal with and
manage this condition. Manual therapy techniques, breathing
exercises, relaxation techniques, and water therapy can help manage this
painful chronic condition.
