What is Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy, also known as physiotherapy, involves using physical methods such as exercise, massage, and other treatments to manage pain, improve movement, and restore function. It is particularly beneficial for injury recovery, post-surgery rehabilitation, chronic pain management, and enhancing athletic performance.

Types of Physical Therapy

• Orthopedic Physical Therapy: This focuses on musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, such as fractures, sprains, and post-surgical rehabilitation. At Apollo Performance, we specialize in treating a wide range of orthopedic conditions with personalized care.

• Neurological Physical Therapy: This type of PT addresses neurological disorders such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and spinal cord injuries. Our therapists are skilled in managing these complex conditions to improve your quality of life.

• Sports Physical Therapy: Designed for athletes, sports PT helps in injury recovery and performance enhancement. At Apollo Performance, we have extensive experience working with professional athletes, including those at the X Games and Dew Tour.

• Geriatric Physical Therapy: Specializes in age-related conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, and balance disorders. Our services help older adults maintain independence and improve mobility.

• Vestibular and Balance Therapy: Treats dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders through specialized exercises and techniques.

Techniques in Physical Therapy

• Therapeutic Exercise: Involves exercises designed to improve strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and coordination. At Apollo Performance, we create customized exercise plans tailored to your specific needs.

• Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques performed by the therapist to mobilize joints and manipulate soft tissues. Our 1-on-1 sessions ensure you receive undivided attention and expert care.

• Electrotherapy: Uses electrical stimulation to promote tissue healing, relieve pain, and improve muscle function.

• Heat and Cold Therapy: Applies heat or cold to reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms.

• Balance and Proprioceptive Training: Focuses on improving balance and coordination through specific exercises.

• Blood Flow Restriction Therapy (BFR): Uses a specialized cuff to restrict blood flow during exercises, promoting muscle growth and faster recovery.

• Dry Needling: Uses needles to help relive trigger points, increase blood flow and decrease pain. Using dry needles with electrical stimulation helps “reset” the muscle and make sure it’s firing properly. 

• Cupping: Works by using negative pressure to increase blood flow while providing myofascial relief.
