PHYSICAL THERAPY
Physical Therapy is the treatment and prevention of disease, disorders and injury of the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular body systems; including spine injuries and rehabilitation for post-orthopedic surgery patients. Moxie Orthopedic and Balance Centers specialize in orthopedic rehabilitation, making us one of the top providers for orthopedic physical therapy in the Sarasota area. You will be evaluated by a licensed Physical Therapist who will develop a plan of care to meet your goals and restore your quality of life.
GERIATRIC REHABILITATION
At our Sarasota clinic, Moxie Orthopedic and Balance Center helps older adults improve strength, balance, walking, and confidence. Our therapists tailor treatment to each person’s goals and use clinic equipment to support safe, measurable progress. If traveling to the clinic is difficult, ask about Moxie To Go for one-on-one outpatient therapy at home.
Services commonly address balance deficits, generalized weakness, arthritis, chronic pain, deconditioning after a hospital stay, and recovery following illness or surgery.
PRE AND POST OPERATIVE REHABILITATION
After surgery, your tissues, muscles and bones go through a period of healing. Because of this, your body needs to slowly return to everyday activities, which is why limiting mobility during recovery can sometimes result in improper healing. Side effects of this can include reduced range of motion, flexibility and functionality. Post-operative physical therapy is the ideal way to encourage your body to heal. In fact, our orthopedic surgeons believe that the success of their procedures is highly dependent on a personalized physical therapy plan.
BALANCE AND VESTIBULAR TRAINING
When there is a deficiency in the ability to process input from your sensory system, people can experience difficulty maintaining stable positions while standing, walking or sitting. In any of these instances, balance therapy can help significantly reduce or resolve these issues.
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY (EPAT)
An effective noninvasive FDA approved technique used worldwide to safely and effectively treat bone and soft tissue disorders around the foot and ankle is known as Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Therapy (EPAT). This method is proven to be effective in treating foot conditions especially Achilles tendonitis, tendonitis in the arch, plantar fasciitis (heel spurs) and incorrectly healed fractured bones.
