AQUATICS THERAPY

Cupping Therapy

Functional Range CONDITIONING
A comprehensive joint training system designed to increase mobility, strengthen joints, and improve the function of the nervous system.
Manual Techniques
VTPT therapists are trained in a variety of hands on techniques to help relieve pain. Myofascial Release, trigger point work, Kinesiotaping, traction and lymphatic drainage work are all in our therapists’ repertoires and can make a substantial difference in patient’s healing experience.
Pre/Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
The better your body is prepared prior to surgery, the better your post-surgical outcome tends to be. PT before surgery helps to strengthen the muscles and soft tissues around the injury site, resulting in a less complicated recovery after surgery. Regardless of whether you are in a program prior to your surgery, post-surgical rehab is a key element to easing you back into safe and comfortable movement and function.
POstural restoration
PRI considers that the body is inherently NOT symmetrical: our neurological, respiratory, circulatory, muscular, and vision systems are not equal left to right and because of this, the body has to find ways to balance our systems. However, asymmetry can lead to imbalances and weakness over time. PRI identifies and treats these imbalances in an individualized, wholesome manner to improve function and efficiency and reduce pain and injury.
Sports Rehabilitation
Whatever your injury, it’s important that you know how it happened and how to avoid it happening again. Studies have repeatedly shown that once a body region is compromised by injury, re-injury of that area is statistically much more likely. Some common injuries we have extensive knowledge in treating include:
ACL, MCL, PCL and meniscus tears
Patellofemoral syndrome
Hip flexor strain
Hamstring strain
Plantar fasciitis
Tennis elbow
Ankle sprain
Shin splints
With our unlimited access to the YMCA of Burlington’s high quality gym facilities, VTPT can help you avoid chronic, persisting injuries whether you’re a hardcore athlete or a weekend warrior.
