While this website is intended to help address your injuries and instabilities, it is not a true Physical Therapy assessment or treatment. As we tell our patients each day, everyone is different and everyone presents a little different from the next, regardless of diagnosis. These exercises are only the beginning of your treatment. Think of them as a foundation towards recovery. If your pain continues, see your doctor or schedule an evaluation with your local Physical Therapist. If your pain worsens with any of these exercises, discontinue immediately.
There are diagnoses not included on this site but have similar treatment plans to diagnoses already listed. Please contact me if you do not see your specific injury and I will point you in the right direction.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your diagnosis, symptoms, or treatment plan, please contact me. I am here to help!
