AN IMPORTANT PART OF THERAPY

Before beginning the therapy program, patients get an easy-to-understand explanation of the evaluation and therapy process and how their program helps with injury or pain. 

 

 

Each patient’s program is based on three key elements: our evaluation; the doctor’s/therapist’s recommendations; and the patient’s needs/goals. As the patient progresses, his day-to-day treatment protocol is continually adjusted, as is the at-home therapy program.

 

Pain Relieving Modalities

The center uses a variety of the latest pain relief techniques such as manual mobilization, electrical stimulation, ultra sound, traction and iontophoresis.

Exercise Machines

Strengthening equipment and popular cardiovascular devices help the team match patient needs and abilities with recovery goals. The center incorporates equipment such as treadmills, elliptical machines, stairsteppers, upper and lower body bicycles and devices for balance and proprioceptive training.

Therapy Should Be Fun

The center provides educational charts, fitness and nutrition magazines, television and relaxing music to enhance the rehabilitation experience.

“Using the best tools is essential” says Carmine. “But the interpersonal component, positive reinforcement and constant encouragement, is equally important. We want our patients to enjoy their rehabilitation experience and get well at the same time. Patients are like our extended family. Many even become friends and keep in touch.”

Testimonials

  • This is my second round with Carmine, albeit 20+ years apart. Carmine and his staff are the best. They treat you like family and get the job done. Very clear and concise explanations and demonstrations. They monitor you and your progress and easily pick up on things to help you or when something has suddenly caused a little discomfort. They adapt your rehab to you specific needs. Can’t say enough great things about them! Hope I never need them again, but comforting to know if I do, I’ll be in the best of care!

    Carmine and his awesome staffed have quite literally brought me back to life! They took the time to figure out what was right for me and proceeded accordingly — pushing when they needed to and letting me progress on my own pace (which I wanted to be fast all the time!). If you’re and athlete looking to be pushed so that you can bounce back ASAP - this is your place. Although, the care is tailored for every person I see come in …. It’s a super friendly and encouraging environment. I’m so thankful they came so highly recommended!

    Carmine and his staff are awesome. They genuinely care about their patients and it shows. I have been seeing him for PT after my knee surgery. He pushes me just enough to reach my goals but not over do things. They are also very flexible with scheduling which helps tremendously when you are self employed. I would definitely recommend them to anyone I know.

  • Carmine came highly recommended from my knee surgeon. Oh my goodness am I glad I picked him. He has a small suite and you get tons of personal attention between him and his staff. So I put my trust in Carmine and 4 1/2 weeks later I’m pain free and playing tennis! He gave me at home exercises to do. He answered honestly any and all questions that I had. He’s available via text as well for the quick questions. Not to mention that the same people that go for PT the same time as myself become this little family. It was great experience and I’d highly recommend him to anyone who needs PT!

    After a rough time with illnesses and surgeries over a full year, I finally found someone who looked at the whole picture and gave me a strategy for recovering so much function and strength! Carmine listens, understands your goals, and creates a program for recovery. I actually enjoy my therapy time!

    Carmine, Haley, and Asia are the BEST! They have created a schedule of exercises to improve my core strength and support my back. Through my personalized program, I am building my strength and flexibility, thus relieving my back pain. I appreciate the individual attention and the friendly encouragement I am given. They have exceptional knowledge of the body, how to relieve pain, and what to do to help strengthen and encourage muscular healing, with a side of always being positive and helpful. I would recommend this place to my family and friends any day! The office is easy to get to and has plenty of parking space. The office environment is spotless, and the sports memorabilia on the walls add a nice personal touch to the decor. Did I mention that laughter is the best medicine? Well, you’ll find some of that there too!
