Our Treatment Philosophy

Get Physical Rx | Physical Therapy & Balance | Spring, Houston, The Woodlands

Each patient’s Physical Therapy Plan of Care (POC) is unique. We focus on balance, movement and strength. We develop a unique plan according to your presentation and our assessment of your current conditions. Your POC is fit and tailored for you. We want to not just manage pain, but help you enter back into regular life pain free.

Your initial evaluation focuses on your diagnosis and the part of the body that needs treatment. We’ll collect subjective info first. This includes the how and when of the injury, pain level, limitations, as well as learning more about your medical history. We’ll then collect objective information. This includes an assessment, understanding your range of motion, as well as special test to see how you present. From their we we develop your Physical Therapy Plan of Care. This will include your assessment and frequency and duration of care. After your initial duration of care we will do a reevaluation to determine your progress and if any additional care is needed.

Physical Therapy & Balance Treatments at Get Physical Rx

Balance / Proprioception Training

Proprioception is your inherent ability to sense your body’s movement, location and action. When you sprain a joint, like an ankle, it looses proprioception, or the sense of joint position. A sprained joint can feel unstable and is susceptible to additional injury. Proprioception and balance training can help restore your spatial awareness, balance and overall movement.

Conditions Treated: Sprains, joint injuries, athletic training, increase coordination, stabilize joints, brain injuries, herniated disc, arthritis, stroke, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, ALS, and joint replacement surgery.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping is an ancient healing therapy which can help with pain, blood flow, inflammation. The air inside the cup creates a vacuum which causes your blood vessels to expand. This causes the body to send more blood vessels to the area, stimulating the natural healing process. The cup remains on the skin for up to 3 minutes and results in a red circle. Cupping became more well known after the 2016 Olympic Games as spectators began to notice the red circles on athletes bodies.

Conditions Treated: Arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, back, neck, knee and shoulder pain, asthma, carpal tunnel syndrome, gastrointestinal disorders, headaches, migraines, high blood pressure.

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

In post surgical rehab we help you learn the safest ways to move to after surgery so you don’t injure yourself. In addition, we help you learn exercises to strengthen muscles and increase motion after surgery. The goal with post surgical rehabilitation is to get you moving in the safest way possible.

Conditions Treated: Most areas can be treated to improve movement and range of motion, strengthen muscles, increase balance, reduce pain, help you walk, or relearn daily activities.

Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular Rehabilitation assists with dizziness issues and helps improve balance. Some patients report a swimming feeling, lightheadedness, spinning, floating, swaying, tilting, whirling, wooziness or just feeling unsteady. Vestibular Rehabilitation is all about teaching you exercises to help overcome these problems. Exercises vary patient to patient depending on your deficits.

Conditions Treated: Vestibular Rehabilitation treats wooziness, imbalance, vertigo, Meniere’s syndrome, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), neck-related dizziness and migraines.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial tissue is the tough membranes that wrap, support and connect your muscles. Sensitivity and tightness in your myofascial tissues can cause chronic pain called Myofascial Pain Syndrome. Myofascial Release focuses on easing the tightness, improving soft tissue function, improving muscle tone, decreasing abnormal movement, and increasing mobility. Your therapist will locate stiff and tight areas called trigger points and add pressure and release pressure. Often these trigger points aren’t located near the actual pain, but do contribute to it.

Conditions Treated: You have myofascial tissue all over your body, so treatment areas vary. Conditions it's known to help with include: neck pain, back pain, Cerebral Palsy, Carpal Tunnel, bladder problems, cervical and lumbar injuries, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, bulging or herniated discs, headaches and migraines, plantar fasciitis, scar tissue build up, sciatica issues and more.

Therapeutic Modalities

The Therapeutic Modalities we use vary patient to patient and depend on your individual needs. They include treatments like hot or cold packs, cryotherapy, TENS, electrical stimulation, kinesiology tape, light therapy, ultrasound, phonophoresis, prosthetic and orthotic training among others. Therapeutic Modalities are incredible tools to create a well rounded and successful Physical Therapy Plan of Care.

Conditions Treated: Since the kinds of therapeutic modalities are so vast, treatment areas are vast as well. Your physical therapist will help determine which are right for you and your PT program.

Functional Dry Needling (FDN)

Functional Dry Needling® (FDN) involves inserting a tiny monofilament needle in a muscle or muscles. This technique helps release shortened bands of muscles and decrease trigger point activity. This can help resolve pain and muscle tension and will promote healing. This is NOT traditional Chinese Acupuncture. It is instead a medical treatment that relies on a medical diagnosis to be effective. FDN is a valuable and effective treatment for musculoskeletal pain.

Conditions Treated: Musculoskeletal issues in the shoulder, elbow, neck, hip, knee, ankle and low back; migraines; muscle weakness.

Graston Technique therapy addresses and treats soft tissue injuries with specialized instruments. We use a specialized form of massage and gentle scraping of the skin.
