- ArthritisAquatic Physical Therapy - Aquatic therapy takes advantage of the physical properties of water to assist with the rehabilitative process. Buoyancy, turbulence, hydrostatic pressure, and thermal properties of water can assist with the rehabilitation of a patient. Those suffering from chronic pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, lumbar fusion surgery, or with a limited weight-bearing status are just a few of the many different patient populations that can benefit from aquatic therapy.

- CryotherapyModalities refers to any device that compliments your therapeutic exercise to improve outcomes. Devices may promote healing, removal of adhesions, pain modulation, and more. Examples include transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, therapeutic ultrasound, cryotherapy, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, iontophoresis (transdermal electrodelivery of steroid drugs), whirlpool therapy, and more.
- Medical Weight LossSome patients may be experiencing physical limitations that can slow the progress of traditional, land-based physical therapy. For instance, challenges in strength, gait, balance, or motor control may limit a patient's ability to participate. At Back to Action Physical Therapy, aquatic therapy gives patients buoyancy and weight reduction so they can exercise fully, right away. Note: Swimming skills are not necessary for aquatic therapy. You can do aquatic therapy standing or sitting. A staff member is present, one-to-one, at all times.

- Primary CareMost cases of low-back pain resolve in four weeks, but up to 77% recur without treatment. Three of four patients presenting to primary care with low-back pain are already in a recurring pain pattern. If recovery is considered the cessation of serious back pain for a year, less than half of patients recover spontaneously.

- Emergency CareI am in the law enforcement field and was injured in the line of duty on October 26, 2012. I was attempting to make an apprehension and twisted my ankle. I was seen by the emergency room at the local hospital where I was told I suffered a sprain. I then sought the advice of a specialist who very quickly identified the need for surgical intervention because I had severed tendons, torn ligaments, and had multiple tears to muscles in my ankle.

- Ankle SprainEvery year, about 10 out of every 100,000 people experience an ankle sprain. They are common, but that may confuse people into thinking they are benign. In fact, if not properly rehabbed, today’s ankle sprain can lead to bigger problems later in life. Nevertheless, only about half of people seek medical attention for ankle sprains, and only about one out of ten people receive supervised rehab. Here’s the problem with that.
- Neck Pain
- Back Pain
- Aquatic TherapyWarmth: Aquatic therapy pools are heated. This soothes sore joints and muscles, allowing for more exercise.
- Manual TherapyAssessment and Treatment Plan: Based on the information gathered from the consultation and examination, the physical therapist will provide you with a clear explanation of your condition. They will explain the root cause of your symptoms and answer any questions you may have. Following the assessment, the therapist will outline a customized treatment plan that may include specific exercises, manual therapy techniques, modalities, and other appropriate interventions to address your unique needs.
- Ankle SprainAnkle sprains seem to heal on their own, but it’s usually an incomplete recovery. Waiting to see how well an ankle sprain heals on its own can be a costly gamble. Instability can cause bigger problems years later. Incomplete ankle rehab has been connected with increased risk of ACL tears and of knee and ankle arthritis.
- Plantar FasciitisInjury Rehab: From neck injuries, shoulder tears, tennis elbow, groin pulls, hamstring tears, ACL tears, ankle sprains, to plantar fasciitis, and everything in between. We rehabilitate your injury. We investigate to find the physical imbalance, equipment problems, or training deficits that precipitated the injury. Then we return you to sport for optimal performance with minimized risk of reinjury.
