Spinal Rehabilitation

For the past 25 years we have treated all forms of spinal disease at Island Sports Physical Therapy. From the patient with disc herniation and radiculopathy, to the tight musculoskeletal and rheumatological patient. All patients differ in symptoms, needs, and tolerance to exercise. Having the full resources of modality therapy, hands-on care, and strengthening equipment, has given our physical therapists a full menu of treatment options to best suit the needs of their patients. This choice and variety tends to be an important motivating factor for our patients. 

Spinal surgeons have different training and philosophies regarding managing their patients. Advances in spinal surgery coupled with research supporting the early use of therapeutic exercise has shortened immobilization time. Returning patients to full function and activities of daily living begins with a competent patient profile. Modalities, stretching and hands-on-care helps determine what level of exercises each patient can handle. Home exercise program design is an important component of our total care commitment.
