Individualized Care
Each patient at the Physical Therapy Institute is evaluated by clinical faculty to determine their individual needs and goals. Treatment plans are based on a thorough assessment of the underlying movement or neuromuscular problem. Each plan includes home exercises and instruction in functional activities to maximize the patient’s involvement in treatment. Manual therapy and exercise techniques are utilized to address the specific dysfunction identified in the evaluation. Our therapists treat one patient at a time to focus on your specific needs.
ABOUT PHYSICAL THERAPY
The Physical Therapy Institute addresses many different conditions. Treatments include posture training, body mechanics, joint mobilization, strengthening, flexibility, pain reduction, coordination training, gait training, and correction of faulty movement patterns.
Physical Therapy can be a less expensive alternative to prescription drugs or surgery. Many conditions can be treated with our conservative approach to care. If surgery is required, physical therapy can assist you in preparing you for surgery and returning to maximum function after surgery.
The Physical Therapy Institute believes in an interprofessional approach to care and will work closely with your physician and other health care providers to coordinate treatment. We work closely with the Family Medicine Clinic and the Student Wellness Center at the Midwestern University Multispecialty Clinic.
