Services At KCOA Outpatient Rehab

Physical therapists help restore movement through therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, and functional training. 

Manual therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy in which therapists place pressure on muscle tissue and manipulate joints by using their hands to apply condition-specific placement, force and techniques. 

Astym® treatment is a regenerative therapy provided by specially trained and certified physical and occupational therapists. Instruments are applied on top of the skin to locate dysfunctional (unhealthy) soft tissue and transfer pressure and shear forces to the underlying soft tissue structures. 

Rehabilitative taping, including Kinesio Taping®, promotes natural healing without restricting range of motion. 

Dry needling is a skilled intervention performed by a licensed physical therapist that uses a thin filiform needle to penetrate the skin and release underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular, and connective tissues for the management of pain and movement impairments. Dry needling is a technique used to treat dysfunctions in skeletal muscle, fascia, and connective tissue, and diminish persistent peripheral nociceptive input, and reduce or restore impairments of body structure and function leading to improved activity and participation. 

Personalized Blood Flow Restriction (PBFR) training is used primarily for rapid increase of strength and hypertrophy (increased size of muscle tissue). To learn more about PBFR, the approved Personalized Tourniquet System device we purchased and to see where our clinicians received training, please click here. 

There is an old saying that “You need to get into shape to play sports, not play sports to get into shape”. We believe that there is a lot of wisdom in that statement. Without proper sports conditioning, sustaining a sports injury becomes more probable than possible. If you are considering actively participating in any type of sport, competitive or recreational, we encourage you to contact us today to learn about our sports conditioning programs. 

Our dedicated therapists work closely with all involved parties to ensure appropriate case management, cost containment and successful return to work. We have a variety of services that address the needs of the injured worker: hand therapy, vestibular therapy, work conditioning, individualized treatment plans, FCE’s, POETs. 

Pre-surgical interventions aim to prepare the body for surgery, reducing risks and accelerating recovery. Post-surgical interventions begin after surgery, focusing on pain management, preventing complications, and restoring function. 

Hand therapy (performed by certified hand therapists or CHTs) is the art and science of rehabilitation of the upper limbs, including hand and wrist as well as elbows and shoulder girdles. It is a merging of physical and occupational therapy theory and practice that combines comprehensive knowledge of the structure of the upper limb with function and activity.
