At IPT, we offer physical therapy for almost all musculoskeletal pathologies from heads and necks all the way down to feet and toes. Consistent with our philosophy at IPT, we treat from a holistic perspective: we treat the whole body and not isolated body parts. Our primary goal is for you to stay better for a long time. As part of this process, we encourage our patients to become more aware of their bodies and all the subtle movements or postures that contribute to pain and dysfunction.

We often see patients pre and post-surgery. Physical therapy prior to surgery is a great way to prepare for the surgery or rehabilitation afterwards. There are many occasions when the pre-surgery PT resolves the symptoms and surgery is avoided. We see patients post-surgery with the focus on range of motion, pain control, strengthening and return to full function.

Exercise is in important part of our treatment philosophy; however, there is always the right time to initiate an exercise. If there are many layers of restriction, you have probably learned to compensate at different body segments to get the range of motion you need. If strengthening exercises are given prematurely, a negative pattern within the body will be reinforced. We believe it is important to facilitate the most ideal alignment. We then reinforce this healthier place with exercise.
