Aquatic Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy in OrthoRehab’s Hydroworx EVO Therapy Pool helps patients feel less pain and stress in addition to gaining an elevated mood and a better outcome after injury, surgery, or other health challenges like obesity, heart disease, neuropathy or arthritis. By taking advantage of the body’s natural buoyancy in water, your physical therapist will create a pool-based program aimed at helping you get back to the activities you love.

Biodex Isokinetic Strengthening

The Biodex uses computer-controlled resistance to provide our patients with Isokinetic exercise to develop and assess strength of the knee, shoulder and ankle. The Biodex has a continuous passive motion exercise mode that allows a Physical Therapist to move the patient’s injured limb in a safe passive and comfortable manner that does not exert forces or exceed specified limits ordered by your physician. Continuous passive motion permits the earliest postoperative intervention helping to decrease joint effusion (swelling) and increase range of motion to the effected joint. OrthoRehab is proud to be one of the only providers in the state of Montana offering the benefits of Biodex.

ASTYM® Soft Tissue Therapy

ASTYM® is a scientifically-based, non-invasive treatment designed to regenerate healthy soft tissues, such as muscles, ligaments and tendons. This therapeutic treatment targets soft tissue, scar tissue and degeneration that may develop due to overuse, trauma or surgery. ASTYM techniques are performed with great success by a highly trained Physical Therapist certified in this specialty.

Dry Needling

Dry needling can be a highly effective technique physical therapists use to treat myofascial pain. The technique uses a “dry” needle, one without medication or injection, inserted through the skin into areas of the muscle, known as trigger points.

Dry needling can be a viable treatment alternative for patients with chronic, intermittent pain and tenderness. Performed by highly trained Physical Therapists, OrthoRehab is proud to offer this therapy to our patients.

All of the elements work together to align your body from the waist down in order to decrease harmful forces on the feet, knees and ankles allowing for maximum performance.

Blood Flow Restriction

Blood flow restriction (BFR) training involves decreasing blood flow to working muscles in order to promote hypertrophy (muscle cell increase in size) and prevent disuse atrophy of muscles. This treatment is typically used during exercise, but there is also evidence that you can prevent muscle atrophy by using these compression devices alone. Exercising with BFR cuff allows one to increase strength with a low load on joint or limb with safety and precision. Each of our clinic locations have certified providers trained to administer this technique of strength gain, whether from generalized weakness, trauma, or recent surgery.

Pelvic Floor

When faced with a diagnosis affecting the pelvic floor, many men and women are unaware that conservative effective treatment options exist outside of surgery or medication.

Pelvic floor physical therapy can reverse the pain associated with dysfunctions of the numerous muscles that attach to the pelvic and thigh bones. These muscles help control bowel and bladder function, stability, balance, healthy sexual activity, and organ mobility.

When these tissues are imbalanced, either weak and elongated or overactive and shortened, pain and problems can occur. Treatment usually involves neuromuscular re-education and manual release of associated restricted tissues either internally or externally, depending on the patient’s needs. OrthoRehab Physical Therapy educates their patients on the role that pelvic muscles, fascia and organ mobility may play in their symptoms.

Our physical therapist Kristen Stockham-Baller, DPT, CMTPT, PRPC, Pelvic floor specialist works intently to alleviate pelvic floor dysfunction and  educates patients on the role that pelvic muscles, fascia and organ mobility may play in their symptoms.
