PHYSICAL THERAPY OF THE FOOT AND LEG
Maybe you work on your feet all day. Or if you sit at work, then exercise or play sports, your feet and legs can experience large amounts of stress from the impact of running or the repetition of cycling. Pain and injury can reduce your ability to perform your job or stay active and fit. Premier’s therapists will perform a detailed exam, develop specific treatments, and provide you with a timeline for recovery. Our process involves:
- Detailed Evaluations – We start with a complete history of your symptoms and perform a gait analysis using video to examine the entire leg’s movement.
- Customized Treatment – Your program is tailored to the biomechanics of your feet, ankles and legs. Our therapists incorporate solutions including manual therapy, exercises , and footwear recommendations. In addition, our AlterG anti-gravity treadmill allows you to return to walking and running sooner, by reducing weight bearing on painful or injured lower extremities.
- Runner screenings – These evaluations benefit competitive and recreational athletes. We analyze how much and when you run, your running surfaces, and your shoes. We can also make shoe recommendations and modifications using custom orthotic insoles.
- Bicycle Fittings – A fitting by a trained physical therapist can help cyclists avoid many problems caused by riding a bike that is the wrong size and set-up.
If you need physical therapy to overcome pain and injury, or if you want to get fit safely, Premier can help you get your whole body back on track. THE PREMIER EXPERIENCE
