Our goal is that our clients in East Memphis are provided with the tools to ensure this vision stays true.

  • Personalized exercise programs
  • Soft tissue and manual therapy techniques such as massage
  • Joint mobilization and manipulation
  • Hot and cold packs
  • Cardiorespiratory techniques such as airway clearance methods

Goals

Physiotherapy is based primarily in movement sciences and aims to enhance or restore function of multiple body systems. This is done with a holistic approach and commitment to health, and an excellent quality of life.

Physical therapists complete these goals by:

  • Promoting optimal mobility.
  • Taking preventative measures towards injury and disability.
  • Managing acute and chronic conditions.
  • Improving and maintaining functional independence.
  • Rehabilitating injury and effects of disease or disability.
  • Educating clients and creating maintenance and support programs.

Your therapist will assess your situation on your first appointment, and provide a diagnosis. Following this, you will help them to plan a strategy for recovery. Your therapist will educate you every step of the way and promote lifelong learning. This is a practice of the therapist themselves, as physiotherapy is a constantly evolving profession.

Settings

Physiotherapy is quite often recommended in hospital or by a family doctor, but there are many other locations the profession is practiced and where a client can gain access.

You may be referred to us through child-development centers, community health centers, or nursing homes. Insurance companies also recommend physiotherapy after accidents.

If you're a senior citizen, you may be recommended by someone at your residence to attend therapy.

Schools, sports settings, work sites and other companies are also locations physical therapy is promoted. Job safety and the practice of safe sports are very important.
