Physical & Occupational Therapy

The bigger a jigsaw puzzle, the more pieces to integrate and connect to make a whole.  So, too, with the human body.  If one piece is out of place, it can affect the whole.  Our specialty, manual orthopedic therapy, is the best approach we have found to help identify and treat the dysfunctional piece. It is not just treating the symptoms, but identifying the cause of the symptoms and resolving the dysfunction. This allows restoration of the body back to normal activities.

These normal activities include:

  • an infant reaching developmental milestones
  • a youngster achieving the balance/strength to ride a bike
  • a high-schooler returning to soccer, track, or football following a sport injury
  • gardeners, sailors, and weekend warriors who suffer from overuse injuries being able to again participate in their leisure activities
  • active baby boomers who suffer from boomeritis strains/tendonitis engaging in social recreation
  • elderly individuals with joint replacements and balance/strength problems regaining independence with a resulting improved quality of life.

Sports Medicine

A sports injury is a serious event in an athlete’s life.  We, at PTSRI, are here to not only help you recover from your injury but to design an exercise program that will improve your performance and allow you to remain injury-free.  Our therapists specialize in manual orthopedic physical therapy.  This approach not only helps to identify the anatomical dysfunction but also looks at a broader view for biomechanical problems which may have led to the injury in the first place.
