Our Injury Rehabilitation Process at PreventPT
At PreventPT, we take a structured, movement-based approach to recovery—no MD referral needed! As a direct access clinic, you can start your rehab immediately without waiting for an MD prescription. We are an out-of-network provider and can bill insurance for patients with PPO plans seeking out-of-network reimbursement. All patients are welcome on a self-pay basis; however, we are unable to treat Medicare beneficiaries per Medicare guidelines.

Who Benefits from PreventPT Rehab?
Our rehab process is designed for individuals recovering from orthopedic injuries, movement dysfunctions, and mobility limitations who need expert, one-on-one care.
- Active Individuals & Athletes – Rehab for overuse injuries, muscle imbalances, movement inefficiencies, and joint instability that affect sports performance and return to activity.
- Post-Injury & Post-Surgical Recovery – Progressive rehab for joint pain, ligament injuries, tendon repairs, and mobility restrictions following orthopedic surgery, sports injuries, or joint replacement.
- Individuals with Recurring Orthopedic Injuries – Address weakness, instability, and improper movement patterns related to shoulder, knee, hip, and spine conditions to prevent reinjury.
Step 1: Get Assessed
📌 SFMA (Selective Functional Movement Assessment) – Identifies movement dysfunctions and root causes of pain.
📌 Biomechanical & Postural Analysis – Detects muscle imbalances, joint restrictions, and compensations.
📌 Joint Mobility & Stability Testing – Evaluates flexibility, stability, and injury risk factors.
📌 Neuromuscular Control Screening – Assesses coordination, balance, and movement efficiency.
📌 Gait & Running Analysis – Examines walking and running mechanics for inefficiencies and asymmetries.
Step 2: Acute Symptom Management
📌 Ultrasound Therapy & Electrical Stimulation (E-Stim, TENS, NMES) – Uses sound waves and electrical currents to reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle dysfunction.
📌 Iontophoresis & Phonophoresis – Delivers anti-inflammatory medication directly to affected tissues for pain relief.
📌 Cold & Heat Therapy – Ice reduces swelling and numbs pain, while heat relaxes muscles and improves circulation.
📌 Manual Therapy – Hands-on techniques to improve circulation, decrease stiffness, and reduce pain.
📌 Ergonomics & Postural Training – Teaches proper body mechanics and movement strategies to reduce strain and prevent re-injury.
📌 Tissue Healing & Protective Precautions – Education on activity modification, load management, and safe movement during recovery.
Step 3: Mobility Restoration
📌 Manual Therapy – Hands-on techniques to release muscle tension through soft tissue mobilization and joint range of motion with joint mobilizations.
📌 IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) – Uses tools to reduce restrictions and improve circulation.
📌 Cupping Therapy – Promotes blood flow, decreases pain, and enhances soft tissue recovery.
📌 Active Release Therapy (ART) – Breaks up scar tissue and adhesions through movement-based treatment.
📌PNF Stretching – Enhances flexibility and neuromuscular control.
Step 4: Motor Control & Balance
📌 Dynamic Stability Training – Enhances balance, coordination, and movement control
📌 Neuromuscular Re-Education – Retrains muscle activation for efficient, pain-free movement
📌 Proprioception Drills – Improves body awareness and joint positioning to prevent injury.
📌 Reactive Control Exercises – Develops quick, automatic responses to movement challenges..
📌Core & Postural Control Training – Strengthens deep stabilizers for better movement efficiency.
Step 5: Strength Resilience
📌 Progressive Strength Training (Dumbbells, Kettlebells, Barbells) – Builds muscle endurance and injury resistance.
📌 Eccentric & Isometric Loading (Squat Rack, Shuttle MVP) – Strengthens tendons and improves joint control.
📌 Functional Movement Training (Cable Machine, Resistance Bands) – Develops strength for daily and sport-specific tasks.
📌 Unilateral & Multi-Planar Exercises (Shuttle MVP, Free Weights) – Corrects imbalances for total-body stability.
📌 Postural & Core Strengthening (Bosu Ball, Medicine Balls, Rebounder) – Enhances stability for better movement efficiency.
📌 Blood Flow Restriction (BFR Cuffs & Bands) – Boosts muscle growth and recovery with low-load resistance.
Step 6: Functional Reintegration & Discharge Testing
📌 SFMA Retesting – Reassess movement patterns to ensure dysfunctions have been corrected.
📌 Functional Movement Screening (FMS) – Identifies any lingering deficits before full return to daily and work-related activities.
📌 Progression to Higher-Level Demands – Gradual exposure to increased physical challenges to build resilience.
📌 Medical Fitness & Performance Training – For those needing continued guidance, transition into medical fitness personal training or sport-specific performance training (link to these pages).
📌 Injury Prevention Strategies – Education on movement efficiency, self-care, and long-term maintenance exercises.
