The Advantage PT Approach

Our approach to managing your health is similar to the approach one should have for managing their financial investments. We establish goals.  We take into consideration conditions you might encounter that would impact achieving those goals.

And then we establish a plan that will help you achieve those goals whether the path is smooth or turbulent along the way. Our belief is that taking care of your health is an investment in the future, money in the bank that can be drawn upon during times that unexpected trouble arises.  And we are there for the long term to help you manage.

An evidence-based approach to therapy focuses on providing individualized treatment plans suited for each of our patients and begins with a patient’s first visit:

Phase 1

During phase 1 we conduct an extensive exam and evaluation. We treat pain, swelling, and inflammation in order to offer relief.  During this phase we also provide education in order to prevent further injury and exacerbation of the condition.

Phase 2

Phase 2 continues with pain relief and instruction in therapeutic exercise which addresses motor performance, joint integrity and functional mobility.

Phase 3

At Phase 3 the goal is to prevent re-injury through extensive, ongoing patient education and establishing an individualized home management strengthening and wellness program.
