Manual Therapy for Spine & Joint
The Oxford Physical Therapy Centers Manual Therapy Program for Spine & Joint has been developed with your functional needs and goals in mind. From your start of care, your rehabilitation focuses on returning you to your normal lifestyle as quickly as possible. Physical therapy starts with a thorough postural screen and spinal evaluation by one of our highly trained and Licensed Physical Therapists. During the evaluation, your Oxford Physical Therapy Centers
Physical Therapist will assess: postural deviations, muscle tightness/imbalances, joint mobility, range of motion and neurologic involvement. This information will then be used to identify the causative factors producing pain or limiting your functional status.
After the completion of your evaluation, your physical therapist will discuss their findings with you and develop a treatment strategy.
