                 Arthritis Management
             People with arthritis often have stiff joints- largely                               because they are in pain and avoid movements that
                     hurt. By immobilizing arthriticjoints, however the                                  stiffness and  pain only get worse. Our staff can help                             teach you how to do a range of motion and                                             strengthening exercises that will improve your                                       function without increasing pain.
            Preserving good range of motion is key to maintaining the ability to perform daily activities. Therefore, increasing the range of motion of a joint is the primary focus of physical therapy.
Building strength in the involved muscles surrounding the joint also is extremely important,  since the stronger muscles can better stabilize a weakened joint.
 
We also provide mobilization therapies which include traction ( gentle, steady pulling ) massage and manipulation ( using the hands to restore normal movement to stiff joints ).  When done by a trained professional, these methods can help control pain and increase joint motion and muscle and tendon flexibility.
 
Lymphedema Management
The Lymphatic system is a network of vessels that work in conjunction with your venous system to recirculate excess fluid.  Lymphedema occurs most often in the arms and legs, when the channels and nodes transport the protein rich lymph fluids are impaired from cumulative damage, surgery and/or radiation.  Lymphedema is a chronic condition that may occur immediately or months to years following cancer treatment.
