Our Physical Therapy Process
One rule we at Bethesda Physiocare® recognize is that physical therapy doesn’t just mean treating pain. Quality service requires education, pain management, training, posture stabilization, strengthening, stability, and flexibility to provide the best results to anyone who walks through our door. That is why we strive to understand each patient’s daily life, activities, and habits so we can form a plan inside and outside of our physical therapy clinic.
Every physical therapy treatment begins by emphasizing pain management and self-care skills. As soon as possible, patients progress towards functional training, which may include exergaming, specific strengthening exercises, stabilization, posture training, and aerobic activities. Our ultimate goals are to increase the activity tolerance in individuals suffering from acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. That way, every one of them can return to a functional lifestyle, work, and recreational activities.
Our physical therapists examine each patient thoroughly and develop individualized treatment plans. We have several clinical specialties, including:
Performing arts physical therapy
Pelvic pain/dysfunction and issues of continence
