Many older adults live active lifestyles, thanks to healthy habits. But growing older can also increase the risk of injury, chronic conditions such as osteoporosis or balance disorders and a slower recovery from surgical operations such as joint replacement or heart procedures. At Cambria Physical Therapy (CPT), we specialize in restoring older adults to their optimum level of function and physical conditioning. Our licensed therapists are experts in treatments that restore mobility, reduce pain, improve balance, increase strength and fitness and enhance safety within the home.
We use gentle hands-on techniques while providing compassionate, one-on-one personal care, and we believe in educating patients on what to expect during their therapy.
A broad array of treatments are available, including the area's only active therapy movement machine that stabilizes spinal segments and helps attain movement in the spine, hips, knees and shoulders. CPT is also the only center in the area to offer the SwimEx swimming pool designed specifically for aquatic therapy. For women who need incontinence treatments, biofeedback and electrical stimulation can be useful treatments. Our onsite fitness gym offers a wide spectrum of strengthening and conditioning machines, with gym memberships available along with the services of athletic trainers. We excel in the following:
Cardiac & pulmonary rehab – In-house pulse oximetry allows our therapists to supervise cardiac rehab level 3 and 4 and pulmonary surgical rehab. A range of cardiovascular training equipment is available.
Orthopedic rehabilitation – Patients recovering from joint replacement surgery, arthroscopy and other orthopedic procedures will need physical therapy specific to their stage of recovery. Having the broadest array of treatment techniques and equipment available ensures a speedier return to normal activities.
Fall prevention – Our licensed therapists are skilled in balance disorders treatments and the use of assistive devices to achieve static and dynamic balance. Patients with dizziness may find relief through vestibular ocular training or the repositioning of inner ear rocks. In addition, CPT is the only center in the area to offer aquatic therapy for balance and vestibular conditioning.
Osteoporosis – Core strengthening exercises and weight-bearing exercise have been shown to help prevent osteoporosis and are offered through programs in our onsite gym.
Fitness & conditioning – Healthy adults can enjoy a variety of fitness programs in our onsite gym. We offer Pilates classes, yoga classes, chair exercises, core strengthening, breathing techniques and STAR (stretch, tone and renew). Personal fitness trainers are available to create personalized exercise programs that adults can continue on their own.
