Aquatic Physical Therapy Troy

HydroTrack is a treadmill within a private therapeutic pool. The combination of traditional

treadmill training with the natural properties of water (buoyancy, resistance and heat) offers great benefits. You can experience the benefits of warmth and decreased joint stress while exercising, which is especially helpful if you are recovering from surgery. Hydro therapy helps reduce swelling and inflammation in joints. The buoyancy gives you the confidence and balance in each and every step. The low-impact, high-resistance workout is good for athletes requiring rehabilitation through sports injury therapy as well as for those wanting to increase performance and endurance.

Important HydroTrack Facts:

• Speed adjusts to patient's ability
• Decreases gait deviations
• Private environment
• Increases strength, balance, endurance (by adjusting the jets for greater resistance)
• Less joint stress, pain, gait difficulties

We make pediatric physical therapy look like kid’s play.

Children are not little adults, and when they have illnesses or injuries affecting their bones, muscles or ligaments, they need specialized physical therapy.

We use manual physical therapy to address a broad variety of conditions, including muscle and joint limitations. Postural correction can help kids with curvature of the spine. Core training and education on safe movements can help kids with low back painlower back pain therapy or sports injury therapy.

Children with developmental coordination disorders can benefit from age-appropriate play activities, neuromuscular education and coordination activities.
Strengthening exercises and specialized equipment such as our AQUA TRAC, an underwater treadmill for aquatic physical therapy (hydro therapy), can help your child build endurance through gentle resistance while the water’s buoyancy protects delicate joints.

Pre- and post-surgery rehabilitation program

Fast-track your recovery, one step at a time.

If you have been told you need orthopedic surgery, there are steps you can take now to recover more quickly and successfully following your procedure. In many cases, your physician will refer you for physical therapy after your operation — in some cases, as soon as 24 hours postsurgery. At OMPT Specialists, we provide free consultations for patients scheduled for orthopedic surgery to answer any questions they may have about their rehabilitation or actual course of physical therapy treatment.

Our therapists are certified in orthopedic manual physical therapy and have completed the full postgraduate OMPT program. Research has shown that conditions that have not responded to traditional physical therapy often get better with OMPT treatment. In addition to manipulative therapy, we use state-of-the-art equipment — coupled with the latest research findings on treatment outcomes — to provide you with a customized physical therapy experience.

Sports Injuries in Southfield and Troy

Sports injury therapy and prevention

Don’t let a sports injury remove you from your game.

Even the most well-conditioned, experienced athletes can suffer a sports injury. It’s how you handle the aftermath that counts.

At OMPT Specialists, we are experts in getting athletes back to their game as quickly as possible. That’s because we have specialized training in evaluating and treating all types of sports injuries, including those sustained during golf, soccer, biking and running. And just as every athlete is different, so too are the ways every one experiences an injury. That’s why a thorough evaluation and treatment plan should be tailored to every athlete’s capabilities in order to help them perform their best following an injury.

We use a wide variety of treatment techniques to help you get back in your game. Many rehab programs focus primarily on exercise, but our therapists are trained to provide manual physical therapy that can promote a full range of motion and better mobility of the joints and ligaments. Studies have shown this shortens the recovery time and gets patients back to their sport faster than those who have traditional therapy.
