Specialties
We treat a wide range of diagnoses and are experts at what we do! We also have several physical therapists who offer specialized treatment.
LSVT BIG
LSVT BIG
LSVT BIG treatment uses exaggerated movements and vocalizations in a unique way that improves amplitude and overall movement for those living with Parkinson’s disease. The Cantrell Center is home to the only LSVT BIG certified physical therapist in a private practice outpatient rehabilitation center in Middle Georgia.
Pelvic Health
Pelvic Health
The American Physical Therapy Association has dedicated an entire section to the pelvic needs of men and women. In fact, the APTA Academy of Pelvic Health has provided mountains of research and support for physical therapists across the country. Surprised? We’re not. Every day, we treat men and women with health issues ranging from pregnancy-related back pain to urinary incontinence.
Vestibular Disorders
Vestibular Disorders
The human body maintains balance using a complex set of systems using sight, touch, and the vestibular system (motion, equilibrium, spatial orientation). Physical therapy for vestibular rehabilitation can include standing balance, visual activities, and head maneuvers. The most common vestibular disorder, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), can be improved with only a few sessions.
Aquatic Physical Therapy
Aquatic Physical Therapy
Aquatic Physical Therapy involves the use of the buoyancy and/or resistance of water. This aids in treating patients who might not normally benefit from land-based therapies. Buoyancy coupled with the therapeutic effect of the heated pool, allows for a decrease of joint forces and an increase in muscle relaxation resulting in less pain and more mobility.
Postural Restoration
Postural Restoration
At its most basic, postural restoration refers to the fact that the body is not symmetrical, and provides for revolutionary treatment approaches toward addressing this asymmetry. Postural Restoration Institute® (PRI) trained physical therapists recognize and treat these imbalances and typical patterns associated with system disuse or weaknesses that develop because of dominant overuse.
Other Diagnoses
Other Diagnoses
At its most basic level, Physical Therapy utilizes a variety of techniques, exercises and machines to help patients develop, maintain, and/or restore maximum range of movement and functionality. Additionally, while Physical therapy is commonly associated with many musculoskeletal and neurological problems, there are many health issues that are also commonly treated, with great success.
