What To Expect
When you choose Health Shift, you can expect a comprehensive, hands-on approach to your rehabilitation or wellness journey. Your first visit will include a thorough evaluation where our therapists assess your condition, discuss your goals, and develop a customized plan. Treatment may involve manual therapy, mobility exercises, strength training, and patient education to empower you with the knowledge to manage your condition.
When you choose Health Shift, on your first visit you can expect 40 minutes one on one with your Doctor discussing a detailed history of your conditions, a comprehensive physical examination to determine how we can help and set short term and long term goals based on what is important to you. The doctor will take the necessary time to look over your goals and their findings to be presented to you on your second visit.
Your second visit will consist of a mini review of your conditions and goals that were set on visit one, then a detailed path and plan based on your goals and the doctor’s findings. The doctor will visually walk you through your specialized plan of care and explain why and how it will help you meet your goals, and your first treatment will be given.
Our goal is not only to help you get better, stronger and healthier, but to educate you how to maintain your progress and prevent backsliding in the future. With each visit, you’ll experience compassionate care, dedicated support, and measurable results.
Our Approach To Physical Therapy
Our bodies are innately designed for adaptation and movement, orchestrated by two remarkable systems: the Nervous System and the Neuromuscular System. Our Nervous System acts as the body’s central command center, enabling us to adapt to stress and navigate life’s challenges. Chiropractors analyze this system, delivering precise adjustments that enhance our neural capacity to better manage stress and challenges in life.
In harmony with this, our Neuromuscular System controls the fluidity of our movements, empowering us to move gracefully through life. Physical Therapists play a crucial role in this system by retraining abnormal movement patterns, unlocking greater mobility, flexibility, strength, and stability. Their expertise ensures that muscles, bones, and joints move seamlessly, optimizing our performance and reducing the risk of injury.
Achieving optimal health involves a focus on breaking bad habits both mentally and nutritionally, with the guidance of a conservative care professional. Integrating strategies for both mental and nutritional health fosters a comprehensive approach to maintaining and enhancing our body’s ability to stay in a state of balance mentally and emotionally!
What We Do At Health Shift
Our physical therapists are dedicated to helping our patients achieve lasting relief from a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, arthritis, neurological conditions, and much more.
However, we take a unique approach to physical therapy. We’re also proud to partner with several nearby chiropractic clinics, giving you access to coordinated care across both disciplines when needed. Our team offers a full range of physical therapy treatment techniques, but if you’d like additional treatment with a chiropractor, they’re right around the corner.
Our physical therapists will work closely with you to develop a personalized, hands-on treatment program focused on helping you move better, so you can get back to the things you care about.
We also perform comprehensive assessments to help us understand your needs, including taking a full health history, reviewing your symptoms and concerns, and conducting several simple movement screens.
Our goal is to find a physical therapy treatment program that works for you.
