Physical Therapy
 As a major component of its comprehensive pain
management program, Riverview Health Clinic offers
physical therapy to assist patients in returning to
their normal activities. A natural reaction to pain
is to stop using that part of the body. Immediately,
this may be a good reaction in that it may help the
body to heal. However failure to use that part of
the body for long periods of time will lead to stiff
joints and or weak muscles and ligaments. Physical
therapy helps patients to begin using those areas thereby regaining use of painful body parts
again. Riverview Health Clinic offers specialized physical
therapy for patients in pain ranging from acute and
sub-acute injuries to post operative rehab and
chronic pain. We offer daytime and evening
appointments for physical therapy with a full time
physical therapist available to direct and provide
treatment. After a thorough evaluation, a customized
plan of care is written with the intent to maximize
a patient's healing potential. Specific protocols
based on proven methods for improvement are
guidelines for plans of care. Our office is a
Medicare
Certified Outpatient Rehabilitation Facility. Medicare has
actually inspected our facility and certified our
facility based upon stringent Medicare guidelines. Education for patients is always included in each
component. Our physical therapist offers exercise
and advice for prevention that can be used to
enhance the patient's activities of daily living.
Prevention of future injuries is a priority.
Strategies for conducting daily living activities
are emphasized along with correct posture and
methods of lifting.
