Specialty Services at Methodist Therapy Services

Amputee Rehabilitation

Physical therapists help patients prepare for surgery and regain strength, movement and function after surgery.

Cancer Rehab

We work with people undergoing cancer treatment and cancer survivors to address post-operative limitations, energy conservation, home modification, and ways to make daily activities easier while undergoing cancer treatment.

Dizziness/Vertigo

This exercise-based approach is aimed at eliminating or minimizing imbalance and dizziness associated with vestibular (inner ear) disorders.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a technique physical therapists use for the treatment of pain and movement impairments. It uses a small, solid needle, called a “dry” needle, in conjunction with other PT treatments.

Headaches

We offer treatment of cervicogenic headaches, or headaches caused by tightness in the neck muscles.

LSVT BIG and LOUD

By exaggerating body motion and speech, this therapy helps minimize impairments caused by Parkinson’s disease.

Lymphedema Treatment Program

This specialized therapy reduces swelling caused by lymphedema, with a focus on maintaining healthy skin and preventive measures to reduce the risk of ongoing lymphedema.

Manual Therapy

Therapists may use skilled hand movements on joints and soft tissue in order to improve tissue extensibility, increase range of motion, induce relaxation, modulate pain, or reduce swelling.

McKenzie Method

This method provides superior functional outcomes for back, neck, and extremity problems. It emphasizes education and active patient involvement to quickly decrease pain, restore normal function, prevent a recurrence, and minimize other medical interventions.

Occupational Therapy

Our highly certified and experienced occupational therapists work to improve basic motor function and compensate for any permanent loss of function. We offer occupational therapy services for both adult and pediatric patients.

Pediatrics

Pediatric therapy works to improve a child’s ability to optimally interact and function in their environment. We offer feeding therapy, sensory integration, dynamic movement intervention (DMI), serial casting, as well as occupational and speech therapy services.

Scoliosis Therapy Program

Our scoliosis therapy program is designed to improve posture, strength and spinal alignment while reducing pain and functional limitations.

Soft Tissue Interventions

This treatment regenerates healthy soft tissue and eliminates or reduces scar tissue that may be causing pain or loss of motion. It is frequently prescribed for athletes, “weekend warriors,” post-surgical patients and chronic sufferers.

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is one technique that utilizes specialized tools to improve mobility and decrease pain caused by soft tissue restrictions.

Speech Therapy

Speech therapy focuses on improving speech, language, swallowing and cognitive abilities. We offer speech therapy services for both adult and pediatric patients.

TMJ Dysfunction

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction can limit natural jaw function such as chewing and talking and can cause pain. Treatment helps ease pain, regain normal jaw movement, and lessen daily stress on the jaw.

    “They treat you like family here. I get one-on-one time with the therapists where the focus is completely on my plan. It is very individualized, and I appreciate that.”

  • Three women in medical scrubs stand smiling behind an older man sitting in a chair. They appear to be in a medical office, with a poster of hands and wrists anatomy visible on the wall.
    “The entire team was phenomenal. They pushed me, and even small exercises, like picking marbles out of Play-Doh, helped me do more than I ever expected.”

    David Brenner, Covenant Health Therapy Center Patient

  • Two women stand smiling in front of a blue therapy table in a medical or physical therapy clinic. One wears a striped sweater and a name badge; the other wears a burgundy top and jeans. Curtains and windows are in the background.
    “They listened. They explained everything, and they helped me get my life back. Their support made a difficult situation feel manageable.”
