What is Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy is a healthcare practice that uses exercises, hands-on techniques, and other treatments to improve movement, reduce pain, and prevent future injuries. It’s a safe, non-invasive approach that can be used to treat a variety of conditions, from muscle strains to joint issues and more.

Our Specialized Physical Therapy Services

At Bethesda Physiocare®, we believe in using the latest techniques and therapies to help our patients heal. Here are some of the specialized services we offer:

Dry Needling

Dry needling is an advanced technique used to treat muscle pain, tendon pain, and scar/fascia restrictions. It involves the use of thin needles that are inserted into identified areas of dysfunction (trigger points and fascial adhesions). This helps to relieve tightness, improve blood flow, and reduce pain. Dr. Jan Dommerholt, the founder of Bethesda Physiocare®, is a recognized expert in dry needling and has pioneered its use in treating chronic pain conditions. His expertise ensures that you receive the best care when it comes to this effective therapy.

Hypermobility Program

Bethesda Physiocare is one of few designated Centers and Network of Excellence by the Ehlers-Danlos Society. For those who experience hypermobility, or an unusual range of motion in the joints, our hypermobility program is designed to help stabilize your joints and improve muscle strength. Hypermobility can lead to joint pain, injuries, and even dislocations, but with the right physical therapy program, you can manage your symptoms and prevent further issues.

Exergaming

Exergaming combines exercise with externally focused exercise to create a fun, engaging way to improve your fitness. At Bethesda Physiocare®, we use exergaming to help patients with coordination, balance, and overall physical health. It’s especially useful for those recovering from injuries or who want to make exercising more enjoyable.

Orofacial Physical Therapy

Orofacial physical therapy focuses on treating conditions related to the face and jaw, such as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), facial pain, and headaches. This type of therapy includes hands-on techniques and specific exercises to relieve pain and improve the function of the jaw and surrounding muscles.

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is a hands-on treatment method in which a physical therapist mobilizes joints and soft tissues using their hands. This can include massage, joint manipulation, and stretching. Manual therapy is highly effective in reducing pain, improving mobility, and speeding up recovery.
