Pediatric Care
Specialties: Jennifer is experienced in orthopedic rehabilitation and enjoys treating foot, ankle, knee, spinal, shoulder, and wrist and hand injuries. She also enjoys working with pediatrics and has previous experience working with children at the Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children.
Primary Care
A prescription or referral is not required to see a physical therapist in the state of Virginia for your initial visit. Appointments can be made anytime. However, there are three things to consider based on your situation. First, you can call for a 15-minute free screening. Your therapist will give an examination and tell you if physical therapy is right for you. At that same time, our office staff will let you know if your insurance will cover the treatments. Second, if your health insurance policy requires a referral from your primary care physician for outside services, like physical therapy, request that referral prior to treatment to avoid personal responsibility for incurred charges. Third, if you are receiving physician’s care for the same condition, we will need to notify your primary care physician within 14 days.

Cancer Care
Pain management is an important aspect of cancer care, as many patients experience pain associated with treatment. For example, patients who have undergone breast cancer surgery may experience pain due to scar tissue, tightness in the chest or arm, or weakness. Physical therapy can help manage pain and improve mobility by using techniques such as massage, joint mobilization, and stretching exercises to address tightness in the chest and arm.

Iontophoresis
Therapeutic Modalities – We consult the latest research to guide our use of therapeutic modalities. In the right conditions, your therapist will utilize Heat/Cold packs, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, iontophoresis, phonophoresis, cervical traction, or lumbar traction to further improve your recovery.
Radiation Therapy
Lymphedema is a condition that may occur after breast cancer surgery and radiation therapy if lymph nodes and vessels are removed or damaged. Lymphedema presents as a swelling in the affected limb, which may be noticed as a feeling of heaviness in the arm.

Sports Medicine

Physical Therapy
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) therapy is a revolutionary treatment that is rapidly gaining popularity in the field of Physical Therapy. By restricting blood flow to certain muscles, BFR therapy helps to accelerate muscle growth, improve strength, and enhance recovery from injuries.
Occupational Therapy
Research suggests that you should NOT wait until you begin to experience disability, impaired function or loss of balance to start exercise-based physical and occupational therapy.
Frozen Shoulder
Physical therapy can help restore functional range of motion by addressing joint or soft tissue restrictions, prescribing daily flexibility exercises, and designing resistance exercises to restore functional strength. These exercises may also help prevent the development of frozen shoulder, a condition where the shoulder joint becomes stiff and painful. Physical therapy treatment may also assist with cancer treatment by restoring shoulder range of motion to allow patients to get into the necessary positions for radiation treatment.
Tennis Elbow
Shoulder Pain
Heel Pain
Back Pain
Aquatic Therapy
People who cannot tolerate traditional exercise programs find aquatic therapy to be the perfect medium for exercise. It promotes pain relief due to the buoyancy property of water that provides support for your joints. It works by decreasing weight bearing so that compression of the joints is minimized.
Neuro Rehabilitation
Specialties: Amanda has a strong interest and background in orthopedic injuries and long-term neuro rehabilitation. Her passion is to improve the long-term quality of life for patients and for the community as a whole. As a recreational marathoner, she understands the drive to be active for both body and mind. She is fluent in conversational Spanish, and welcomes the opportunity to treat patients that prefer to speak in Spanish.
Manual Therapy
The first step to successful rehabilitation and recovery is a complete evaluation. The physical therapist’s evaluation will include an examination of your muscles, test of your joints, and assessment of your injury or condition. At this time education about your condition and an initial plan of care will be given. Next comes hands on manual therapy. A Physical Therapist’s hands can mobilize tissue and joints to allow for a speedier, more complete recovery. You can also expect your therapist to prescribe a personalized exercise regime to be done in the clinic and at home. These exercises will help to restore your strength and function. The key to your complete and sustainable recovery is a team approach: the therapist, the assistant and you.
Geriatrics
TMJ Dysfunction
Specialties: Chelsea has a background in treating a variety of orthopedic conditions throughout the lifespan with a strong interest in treatment of the neck and temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD). She is a strong believer in taking a holistic approach to treatment, seeing each patient as an individual and assisting them in attaining their specific rehabilitation goals.
