WHY DO PEOPLE TURN TO PHYSICAL THERAPY?
In the past, people primarily looked to physical therapy as a means to recover from an injury. This is no-longer the case. We routinely see patients that are looking to . . .
-
Manage / gain relief from chronic pain
-
Prepare / condition prior to a procedure (e.g. knee / hip replacement)
-
Rehabilitate following a procedure
-
Prevent injury through strengthening & conditioning
-
Rehabilitate from an injury
We treat ALL orthopedic conditions as well as some pelvic floor issues.
HOW DOES RESTORE APPROACH THE EVALUATION PROCESS AND ESTABLISH A PLAN OF CARE?
The team of therapists at Restore/FYZICAL take a holistic approach with each patient. Rather than just treat a specific injury or "pain area," our therapists work to discover the root cause of an issue before establishing a customized plan of care.
After treating a recent patient for chronic back pain, he remarked that none of his prior therapists had thought to check the alignment of his pelvis. After working to properly align his pelvis, this patient is enjoying a pain-free life for the first time in 23 years!

Do you suffer from headaches, grinding of your teeth, clicking of your jaw or even ear pain? These can all be signs of Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome, also known as the temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD). This a disorder of the jaw muscles and nerves caused by injury to the TMJ, which is the joint between your jaw and skull.

Pelvic Health
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a treatment for problems related to the pelvic floor. This specialized therapy includes exercises that can help relieve symptoms like pain, discomfort, and disruptions to your quality of life.
The Pelvic Floor
Everyone has a pelvic floor. It’s made up of the muscles that support the urinary and reproductive tracts. This group of muscles also controls your bladder and bowels.
In women, the pelvic floor keeps your bladder in place in the front and the vagina and rectum in the back. Your uterus is held in place at the top of the pelvic floor by muscles, tendons, and connective tissue. In men, the pelvic floor helps keep the bowels, bladder, urethra, and rectum in place.
The pelvic floor muscles attach to your tailbone and pubic bone. If the muscles in the pelvic floor are weak or don’t work as they should, this is called pelvic floor dysfunction.
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
When you have pelvic floor dysfunction, your pelvic muscles can’t relax or work together the way they should. If these muscles can’t relax, only tighten, you may have:
-
Constipation
-
Peeing frequently
-
Trouble controlling your bowels or urine, leading to leaks
-
Pain during sex in women
-
Pre & Post Partum
