These tests are active, passive, hands -on and interactive which help us to discover… the movement dysfunction(s) diagnosis. Upon discovery, we will inform you in full detail our findings within our scope of practice. We will also discuss common goals and a treatment plan that will execute… the healing pathway needed to return to sport, work and or life activities.

The Treatment

The treatment is not only what the therapist does, but more what the patient does. IFSI expects a shared responsibility that is collaborative and cooperative in order for optimum outcomes to be achieved. IFSI provides professional, quality and individualized treatment that is charged and guided by a licensed physical therapist that sincerely cares. Each session is a time to reassess, modify and or progress through an evidence based program. Our programs do not stop at the exercise prescription we provide. We also take a hands – on approach utilizing manual techniques and modalities that are essential for an expedient and safe recovery. Another intricate part to how we treat is through education. We feel this is so important because it is this that provides the foundation needed for injury /disease prevention, reoccurrence and a healthier happier life style.

Physical Therapy is not a “cure- all” however, it is a “help for all” for those who want to listen, learn and activate our plan of care, and that is our intension of rehabilitation.
