PHYSICAL THERAPY

We Are Committed To Your Health.

At Stellar Physical & Occupational Therapy, our physical therapy services are designed around the individual, not a diagnosis alone. We begin with a comprehensive evaluation to understand your movement, lifestyle, goals, and challenges. From there, we create a customized rehabilitation plan focused on restoring mobility, strength, and confidence.

Our therapists combine evidence-based treatment with hands-on care and patient education. We believe understanding your body and movement is essential for lasting recovery. Throughout your rehabilitation, we teach you strategies to maintain flexibility, reduce pain, and prevent future injury, so progress continues long after therapy ends.

Whether you are recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, returning to sport, or improving everyday function, our goal is to help you move better, feel stronger, and live well.

At Home Physical Therapy

Our goal is to maximize the independence and wellness of our clients in the comfort and privacy of their homes. Our At Home Physical Therapy is a great option for post-surgical patients, seniors, or for the busy professionals who prefer treatment in the privacy of their home.

Physical Therapy Benefits:

Reduce or eliminate pain. Therapeutic exercises, manual therapy techniques, and modalities such as ultrasound and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) can help relieve pain and restore muscle and joint function to reduce pain. Such therapies can also prevent pain from returning.
Avoid surgery. If surgery is required, you may benefit from pre-surgery physical therapy. If you are going into a surgery stronger and in better shape, you will recover faster afterwards.
Improve mobility. Stretching and strengthening exercises help restore your ability to move. Physical therapists can properly fit individuals with a cane, crutches or any other assistive device, or assess for orthotic prescription.
Recover from a stroke. Therapy helps strengthen weakened parts of the body and improves gait and balance. Stroke patients can also improve their ability to transfer and move around in bed so that they can be more independent around the home.
Recover from or prevent a sports injury. Physical therapists understand how different sports can increase your risk for specific types of injuries so they can design appropriate recovery or prevention exercise programs for you to ensure a safe return to your sport.
Improve your balance and prevent falls. Therapists help you with exercises to improve coordination and assistive devices to help with safer walking. When the balance problem is caused by a problem in one’s vestibular system, physical therapists can perform specific maneuvers that can quickly restore proper vestibular functioning, and reduce and eliminate symptoms of dizziness or vertigo.
Manage diabetes and vascular conditions. Exercise can help effectively control blood sugar. Additionally, people with diabetes may have problems with sensation in their feet and legs. Physical therapists can help provide and educate these patients on proper foot care to prevent further problems down the road.
Manage age-related issues. Physical therapists are experts in helping patients recover from joint replacement, and manage arthritic or osteoporotic conditions conservatively.
Manage heart and lung disease. While patients may complete cardiac rehabilitation after a heart attack or procedure, you also may receive physical therapy if your daily functioning is affected. For pulmonary problems, physical therapy can improve quality of life through strengthening, conditioning and breathing exercises, and help patients clear fluid in the lungs.
Manage Women’s Health and other conditions. Women have specific health concerns, such as with pregnancy and post-partum care. Physical therapists can offer specialized management of issues related to women’s health. Additionally, PT can provide specialized treatment for: bowel incontinence, breast cancer, constipation, fibromyalgia, lymphedema, male pelvic health, pelvic pain, and urinary incontinence.
