Orthopedic Therapy - A Physical Therapist at STAR will conduct a thorough patient evaluation on your first visit. Based on those findings and your personal goals, a personalized plan of treatment will begin on day one. Orthopedic therapy goals may include increased strength, flexibility, fitness and decreased pain.

Fracture and Post Operative Rehabilitation - STAR PT's will work to get you back on your feet and into your daily routine through manual stretching, progressive exercise, and strength building techniques focusing on your individual problems and goals, following surgery or fracture.

Athletic Injuries - Athletes treating athletes, STAR gets you back in the game quickly and safely. Most of STAR's PT's are experienced athletes. Some are still competing in (age appropriate) venues. Athletic performance enhancement, injury prevention and expert care in case of injury is a powerful asset to you when you choose STAR PT.

Balance and Vestibular Evaluations and Treatment - Ask for Patti Baylis, PT, one of our physical therapists specializing in vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT). She can help people affected by balance disorders to regain function by designing exercise plans tailored to their specific needs. Some balance disorders, no matter the length of time they've been present, can be quickly and effectively managed. Only a thorough evaluation by an expert such as Patti Baylis, PT, can determine if vestibular physical therapy will be helpful to you.

Spine Conditions and Low Back Pain - Spine conditions, such as low back pain, leg pain (radiculopathy) and spinal stenosis, can successfully be managed with Physical Therapy. A thorough patient specific evaluation and treatment program is established on day one with your STAR physical therapist. Specific corrective exercises, back education, and at times, traction may be used to eliminate the current problem and educate you in the management any future episodes. Instruction is often desperately lacking when a patient seeks help from other ancillary sources. STAR Physical Therapists are dedicated to helping you manage spine conditions and low back pain. Ask for Chris Berttucini who is our certified McKenzie Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy of the Spine specialist.
