Who We Treat

Many of us enjoy an active lifestyle but may find ourselves held back by ongoing pain or stiffness or frustrated that our body doesn’t function the way it used to. This may hold you back at work, at play, or even during regular daily activities. Physical Therapists can help you set and achieve personal goals for physical movement as well as for overall health and wellness.

We help active adults to move better, and we teach you what you must do on your own, outside of our facility, to maintain the results we achieve at BEST PT. When we identify what makes you feel better, you have to keep doing it. This sustainability of wellness is our ultimate goal, and our Physical Therapists want to inspire you to sustain a lifetime of pain-free living and optimum performance. There is overwhelming evidence that physical therapy can be more effective than surgery for certain problems like low back pain. But it is not a quick fix. It takes time, work, and most importantly the will to improve your daily life experience.

A variety of injuries can affect basketball players, that are either occur suddenly or happen as a result of overuse and repetitive motions, such as shooting the ball.

Basketball players are typically prone to injuries that correspond with specific motions of the game. For example, the ankle can be injured from landing or jumping while off balance. Knee injuries are common as a result of decelerating during cutting and stopping. Stress fractures are also a common basketball injury that occurs as a result of rapid increases in the level of training.

At BEST PT, our staff of highly trained therapists has the experience and skills to evaluate the physical function of older adults with a variety of physical problems, helping them return to a more active and rewarding lifestyle!

Many older adults are faced with age-related problems such as loss of balance, declining muscular strength, osteoporosis, arthritis and decreased mobility. These problems can lead to functional impairments which can impact the quality of life and determine an individual’s ability to live independently.

Research has shown that physical therapy can be effective in reducing the pain of hip and knee osteoarthritis, which is very common among older adults. When therapy is initiated early in individuals with osteoarthritis, it may be possible to decrease the use of pain medication as well as reduce or delay the incidence of surgery!

As part of your treatment plan, your Therapist will educate you in how to maintain these cross-training practices for your game.
