Services

When you choose Choice Physical Therapy for physical therapy, you’ll benefit from one of the area’s largest selections of specialized services and unique programs which include:

One-on-One Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine

Patients and Physical Therapists partner in the treatment process, which is based on a sports medicine model and driven by early intervention, effective treatment strategies and functional outcomes.

Orthopaedic Rehabilitation

Injuries receive special attention and specific treatments from Choice Physical Therapy’s skilled physical therapists; Orthopaedic rehabilitation programs help patients get back to their daily routines.

Active Release Techniques® (ART)

Choice Physical Therapists are trained in Active Release Techniques®, or ART.  ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.

Modalities

Aquatic Therapy

Choice Physical Therapy offers patients individualized pool sessions, providing guidance and instruction throughout your session.  Proper posture and form are emphasized to maximize the benefits of the aquatic environment.  The buoyancy of the water reduces loading across joints to allow exercise that would otherwise be too difficult on land.  The warmth and pressure of the water may further assist with pain relief, decrease swelling and increase ease of movement.  Aquatic Therapy is performed at the Days Inn (Barre), the Marriott (Williston) and First in Fitness (Berlin).  Please contact us for an appointment.

Our Certified Athletic Trainers are prepared to assist in the treatment of athletic injuries, assist with physician referrals, offer guidance on stretching, balance and core stabilization, and provide on-site injury evaluations and immediate care; as well as follow-up care.

Massage Therapy

Massage and touch as a healing art can release pain, tension and stress. It can go deep into the subconscious and release emotional endorphins, and can be a positive experience that promotes relaxation and emotional well-being.  At Choice Physical Therapy our treatments are based on scientific research.  Massage therapy as an adjunct to physical therapy can facilitate the healing process of soft tissue injuries.  In addition, many pain patients require periodic ongoing massage therapy to maintain their health and function.  Utilizing medically based massage therapy under the direction of our physical therapists, we can offer a low cost alternative to repeated physical therapy management once discharged from acute rehabilitation.

Those patients needing orthotics benefit from expert fitting and state-of-the-art products.

We provide orthotic evaluations at our practices in Berlin and Williston.
