  Valley Physical Therapy is a locally owned and independent private practice that has been serving our local community since 1984. We are also physical therapist-owned and that means we value quality, personalized care for our patients. Our team consists of talented employees – both clinical and non-clinical – who have a strong reputation for clinical quality, effective outcomes and positive customer service.
• Neck Pain
• Manual Therapy
  In our pursuit of fitness and participation in sports/recreation, most of us have sustained an acute injury of ligament/joint sprain or a muscular strain. If not this, then perhaps an overuse type of injury from repetitively performing our preferred activity. With proper assessment and treatment, most injuries will recover in a few weeks to 3 months. Initial treatment generally includes rest, elevation, compression or bracing, use of ice/heat and possibly anti-inflammatories. As healing progresses range of motion exercises, soft tissue and joint mobilization techniques, possibly cortisone injections and specific strengthening and education in a home exercise program and or altering faulty movement patterns and posture are added.
