Services We Offer
Annual PT Check-Up
Physical therapists (PT) at Lazaro Physical Therapy have the education, experience, and expertise necessary to provide a broad health screening to allow tracking of your health status over time. The PT annual check-up is a general health screening and a standardized physical exam of strength, function, the cardiovascular system, balance, and flexibility. It may also lead to a referral for a physical therapist examination and treatment plan or to another health care professional for potential problems identified during the checkup.
Musculoskeletal Pain and Rehabilitation
Perhaps the most commonly known services provided in physical therapy are for people recovering from musculoskeletal injuries or seeking help for various aches and pains. Whether its low back pain, tendinitis, muscle pain, or sprain, physical therapists have the skills to determine the cause of the problem. The physical therapist will perform an examination, perform tests and measures, give an assessment of the problem, and determine a plan of care with you.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
The physical therapist becomes an important member in your health care team after surgery. The rehabilitation process takes more time after surgery and during this time a physical therapist sees you more than any other provider. We work with you to reach your goals and help you get back to the activities you enjoy. Common post-surgical procedures we treat are rotator cuff repairs, ACL reconstruction, total knee replacement, total hip replacement, back and neck surgery.
Exercise Prescription and Programming
Perhaps you want to start a fitness program or already have one, but you’ve hit a plateau. Maybe you have questions about the program you are currently on. The goal of exercise prescription and programming is to help get you started on a program, get you out of that plateau, and evaluate the effectiveness of your current program. You can then take your new program with you back home or to your gym. Come back every 2-3 months to get re-evaluated on your progress.
Neuromuscular and Functional Rehabilitation
Another service we offer is neuromuscular rehabilitation. Suffering from a neurological event can be life-changing. Recovering from a stroke, head injury, or spinal cord injury can be a long process and those who have progressive neurological conditions like Parkinson’s Disease and multiple sclerosis have specific needs in their rehabilitation process. The goal of neuromuscular and functional rehabilitation is to optimize your function and improve your quality of life.
Strength and Fitness Training
This service is the extension of exercise prescription and programming. It is like coming in for personal training. This program is great for people who are brand new to fitness and exercise or for those who prefer a more private setting. We will teach you how to exercise with one-on-one guided training sessions at our clinic. We offer fitness training in packages at a minimum of 4 sessions.
Sports, Dance, and Performing Arts Performance Improvement and Rehabilitation
We work with athletes, dancers, and performing artists to help improve their skills. We offer specific training for your activity. You can train for speed, power, endurance, agility, or coordination to get you to the next level. We also work with those who sustained injuries. Some sports activities make people more prone to specific injuries. Dancers can have multiple issues going on at once and performing artists tend to suffer repetitive stress injuries.
