Electrical equipment such as electric stimulation and ultrasound are used to decrease pain, inflammation and swelling and increase tissue elasticity to improve movement.

Did You Know?

Muscle and the soft tissue in the body that connects the bones to form joints (i.e. knee joint, ankle joint) have properties similar to metals such as gold. Heating a metal makes it more pliable and allows us to change it more easily. Increasing the temperature of the soft tissue in our body allows us to change it more easily through stretching.

"I am more than surprised at how quickly a tear in the middle of my rotator cuff healed. Helen is an extremely gifted & supportive PT. The exercises were very therapeutic & were taught patiently. I felt like she really understood my body & my injury. She was positive & very encouraging."
