How We Help

Evaluation. Customization. Education. Communication

One of the things that sets us apart from other physical therapy practices is our relentless commitment to these four things. We believe proper treatment comes about when all four are included and adhered to in a physical therapy program.

Would you like to:

  • Recover from painful injuries and prevent future ones
  • Be comfortable and pain free in your body as you move through your day
  • Work for hours at a computer with a strong back
  • Alleviate back pain and neck pain
  • Breathe freely and deeply
  • Manage stress in the healthiest way possible

 

Evaluation
Knowing where you are at helps us understand how to get you where you want to be. At Washington Health & Healing, we understand that the body can be affected in many ways by injury, overuse and misuse. If you are experiencing chronic pain, or have recently suffered an injury, physical therapy can significantly speed your path to recovery.

Through comprehensive evaluation, treatment and re-assessment, we work to effectively address your concerns to promote a return to normal daily and recreational activities. Our initial evaluation typically lasts 75 minutes and includes a thorough physical therapy assessment and treatment.

 

Customization
Each individual has a unique situation that requires a customized treatment program. Your treatment plan will be designed to address physical limitations, injury and diagnosis, functional deficits and medical history. As part of our treatment approach, we assess and develop personalized programs that focus on these areas:

  • joint range of motion
  • joint mobility
  • muscle flexibility
  • strength
  • neurological function
  • pain
  • muscular function.
  • postural awareness and use

 

Education
An important part of getting better is patient education. We invest the time to make sure you truly understand your treatment program because knowing is half the battle.

Education provides you with a better understanding of the current injury/dysfunction and the effects that an injury can have on your everyday life. Through education, you will also learn to make the proper modifications to daily activities and biomechanics to prevent re-injury.

 

Communication
Communication with your other healthcare providers helps to make sure your total health is considered as your treatment program is developed and implemented. To your level of comfort and where appropriate, we will communicate with them as well as with your coaches and family members to help facilitate optimal therapy outcomes. Involving the right people in your treatment at the right time can help promote lasting results.
