Aquatic Therapy
Strive Physical Therapy is offering Aquatic Physical Therapy to accompany the other rehabilitative services they provide. The Aquatic program consists of supervised exercises with one of our Physical Therapists. Swimming is not required as most exercises will be performed while standing in the water using flotation devices or holding onto the side of the pool.
Aquatic Physical Therapy is an alternative form of rehabilitation that is used in conjunction with other traditional outpatient therapies. It uses water as an environment for healing, strength and relaxation. Therapists use the properties of buoyancy, support and accommodating resistance to accomplish goals that would be more difficult to achieve on land.
People suffering from arthritis, fibromyalgia, post-operative conditions, sports injuries, joint, neck and back injuries, musculoskeletal issues, diabetes, obesity, neurologic disorders including: stroke,multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, muscle weakness, or poor balance may be appropriate for this program.
Strive’s Aquatic Therapy Program is provided at the YMCA’s Mount Laurel facility on Centerton Road.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
A Physical Therapist, who specializes in Vestibular Rehabilitation, will evaluate clients suffering from dizziness or balance deficits and perform techniques and/or design an exercise regimen to assist these individuals. People suffering from vertigo, vestibular neuritis, acoustic neuroma, gentomicin toxicity, perilymphatic fistula and post-traumatic vertigo are appropriate for this program.
Graston Technique
This innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. The technique utilizes specifically designed stainless steel instruments to detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation. The Graston Technique is effective because it separates and breaks down collagen cross-links and splays connective tissue, which increases the rate and amount of blood flow resulting in increased cellular activity and facilitates reflex changes in the chronic muscle holding pattern.
