Physical Therapy

Physical therapists diagnose and treat pain and movement dysfunction following injury, illness and surgery.

Treatment involves utilization of various forms of exercise, manual skills and healing technology to assist in decreasing pain and restoring function.

The ultimate goal is to increase activity levels to promote improved fitness, wellness and quality of life. 

Our therapists excel in the treatment of the following:

  • Low back and neck pain
  • Muscle strains and sprains
  • Post-surgical rehabilitation
  • Dizziness/Balance disorders
  • Stroke and neurological rehabilitation
  • Sports injuries and screens
  • Headaches
  • Foot pain
  • Temporal-mandibular (TMJ or jaw) pain
  • General strengthening and endurance
  • Scoliosis
  • Chronic pain and fibromyalgia
  • Fall prevention
  • Foot orthotics

We have physical therapists available who have received advanced training from the Postural Restoration Institute.  This program has proven very effective in treating most of the above problems as well as many chronic conditions.  This approach coordinates appropriate breathing techniques combined with manual skills and specific exercises to normalize posture and reduce pain.

Sue did a fantastic presentation to the Board and Management Team regarding what the imaging department does and how each area works.  It was informative, educational and timely.  Sue was able to take complex diagnostic scans and explain them so that each person could understand and was engaged through the entire presentation.  The variety of diagnostic scans that are available at VCHS is remarkable.  Thank you for the wonderful presentation.

Congratulations!
