  1. A Comprehensive Guide to Physical Therapy Evaluation Following significant injury or illness, fitness levels decrease due to much needed rest and healing. Fitness also declines due to simple inactivity. And if every time you try to exercise or return to more normal function you feel debilitating exhaustion, your confidence in retuning to your normal self is eroded. Propelling oneself back to normal function all alone can be intimidating. Detailed assessment and creation of a comprehensive program can tremendously help you succeed in re-conditioning, to improve your health and return to your desired level of fitness and function.

  2. Postural Evaluation Correct posture is key for pain-free and optimal performance. Movement has to have a starting point, and that is your initial posture. If normal postural relationships are altered by a lifetime of sitting, for instance, this will affect your performance on the golf course. A detailed assessment of static (not moving) and dynamic (in motion) postural relationships is part of the starting point for developing a program to achieve your goals. And never fear, because even changes caused by habits over time can be addressed and you can use the ever-changing nature of your body to make improvements. Ergonomic assessment and workplace modifications can be part of such evaluations if requested.

  3. Balance Assessment and Treatment While many assume decreased balance is an age-related and normal phenomenon, in fact, balance can be improved with a movement program to increase safety and function. Loss of balance in the older adult has been directly linked to muscle weakness. Some loss of strength is age related due to physiologic changes in the muscle tissue. Some loss of strength is preventable with physical training. Skillfully chosen exercises combined with dynamic training can help you be more certain of safely making progress.

  4. Biomechanical Evaluation Applying in-depth knowledge of structures and function allows Linda to observe a specific activity from a whole body perspective, making isolation of problem areas more clear and easier to remedy. This process results in more lasting and stable return to function through physical therapy and physical training.
