Acute Care Orthopaedic Therapy
CCPT is owned and operated by an experienced Physical Therapist, who along with the rest of the staff are focused on working toward helping people reach their goals to Get Better. All of our professional staff are experienced and have attained advanced degrees and specializations over a broad spectrum of rehabilitation procedures and evidence-based treatment modalities. Physical therapists treat patients with a wide variety of orthopedic problems from the feet to the cervical spine, back, shoulders, elbows, hands, knees and hips/pelvis. Problems may be related to an acute injury or post-surgical; may be related to prevention, or may be restorative. Patients may be of any age, may be active or not very active, may be involved in sports activities, dance, recreation and/or wellness activities.
The focus of Augmented Soft Tissue Mobilization (ASTYM) is to stimulate the rejuvenation and healing of degenerative tissue and to stimulate the resorption of scar tissue.
