Rexburg Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy is an area of healthcare that provides services that develop, maintain, and restore individuals’ maximum movement and functional ability. Physical Therapists are health care professionals who assess and treat individuals of all ages. They diagnose medical problems or other health-related conditions that limit an individual’s ability to move and perform daily activities. Physical therapists help people maximize an individual’s quality of life through assessing physical, psychological, emotional, and social well-being. A physical therapist will undertake a comprehensive initial examination/assessment of a patient/client in order to make clinical decisions and formulate a diagnosis in order to move forward with the best plan of care. Each individual’s plan of care is customized to match the impairments noted in the initial assessment and treatment interventions are implemented to improve functional outcomes.

  • Back and Neck

  • Sports/Weight Lifting
  • Orthopedics

Services

Back and Neck Pain

Back and neck pain are two of the most common complaints we receive from our patients. This kind of pain can interfere with activities of daily living by limiting mobility and radiating pain that decreases quality of life. Neck pain is common because of its location on the body; it is a somewhat stand-alone body part that is left to fend for itself and is not protected by other muscle groups. Back pain makes sense because the back is central to the body and everything we do. Any movement that includes bending, twisting, or lifting will put you at risk of injuring your back. In addition, obesity often leads to increased back pain due to increased weight on the spine and discs. We know back and neck pain are common problems, and we have much experience in helping our patients overcome it.

Orthopedics

Orthopedics is one of the services we specialize in. Orthopedics focuses on the overall function of the musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, muscles, cartilage and more. Basically, it looks at how the body is able to work together to accomplish a task. At Pick PT we know that if we only treat the injured area we have not done our jobs. More often than not, when an injury occurs there is usually another part of the body that ends up compensating. This can be presented in body posture or the actual mechanics of the body movement. You may have heard of someone who had a knee replacement but the actual need was for a hip replacement. We recognize the relationship our body mechanics have with one another. Everything in the body is connected. Treating the entire musculoskeletal function is a more effective approach to physical therapy.

Balance & Dizziness

We want you to know that we can help with your vestibular problems. It may seem like there is no hope of improvement, but many times there is a tangible explanation for why this is occurring and it can be treated with what is called vestibular rehabilitation. Balance and dizziness can seem like it’s “all in your head” literally. However, these issues often start with the tiny bones and organs of the inner ear. We know that suffering from balance issues and dizziness has many equally negative side effects. Lack of balance, especially in the elderly, can lead to harmful falls. These symptoms can also lead to a more sedentary lifestyle in fear of losing your balance or debilitating dizziness that causes you to want to remain still.

Sports Medicine

Our therapists know that you love participating in your sport. We want to get you back to playing and moving as quickly as possible. That being said, we also know the lifelong effects of an unhealed sports injury. Some former athletes suffer for the rest of their lives because they either went back to activity too soon, were never properly treated, or never had the proper strength to begin with. We can make sure you are ready for your season with a prior screening, and we can help you throughout your sports journey to build speed, agility, and strength in healthy ways. Sports medicine can greatly decrease your risk of initial or future injury.

Benefits of Physical Therapy

There are some obvious, fairly immediate benefits of seeing a therapist and sticking to a home exercise plan. Therapy is beneficial for those who suffer from disease, trauma, injury, stroke, etc. Just a few of the advantages of meeting with a physical therapist include:

  • Quicker recovery
  • Healthy recovery
  • Prevent further injury
  • Decrease pain
  • Avoid surgery and opioids
  • Increase range of motion
  • Improve balance
  • Learn healthy home remedies

In addition to this overwhelming list of direct benefits, there are a few secondary benefits that could potentially trickle down in a positive way. A few examples of this could be:

  • Prevent falls
  • Manage underlying health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease
  • Control age-related symptoms
  • Prevent sports injuries
  • Recover from stroke

What Makes Pick PT Different

If you and your doctor have already determined that physical therapy is the best solution and next step for you, choosing the right physical therapist is important.

At Pick PT we value loyalty. We strive to retain patients through building strong relationships with them so that you and your family and friends will feel comfortable coming to us with all of your physical therapy needs.

Our therapists have advanced education and experience in a variety of areas that allow for you to be treated by the true experts of their field. Pick PT specializes in the all too common ailment of back pain, and has had much success in helping reduce pain.

Physical therapy can get a bad rap for being a somewhat stressful and sometimes painful environment. Pick PT strives to maintain an environment of positivity and fun to decrease stress and improve results and trust.

The Pick PT team truly cares about their patients. We care about your life and your hobbies, and we want to set goals that will help you get back to living the life that brings you the most happiness.

I was experiencing debilitating back pain for over a month. I went to East Idaho Spine in Rexburg, I was going to be scheduled for an MRI but in the meantime was referred to start physical therapy at Pick PT in Rexburg. Within just a couple of visits I was doing much better and within a week I was up and back to normal activities, no MRI necessary. I've never had physical therapy but this was one of the best experiences I've had in regards to my health and well-being. I would highly recommend this office and staff for their professional, knowledgeable and compassionate service. Make an appointment with Dillon Wray, he is wonderful!

Vishi Gardner

Out of the four PT offices I’ve been to, Pick PT is by far the best. They are friendly, professional, patient, and knowledgeable. Dillon and Paige listen carefully to your concerns and needs, and are diligent in making sure they take care of you. I have seen significant improvement in my pain levels since working with Pick PT. I have started working with them again for a new issue, and would happily choose them again should a new injury arise. Give Dillon, Paige, and Danielle a raise!

FAQs

Can I come to therapy if I am pregnant?

Yes. Anyone who has lived in or near Rexburg, Idaho knows there is a large population of pregnant women in the area. We regularly treat pregnant patients whether they are coming in for something pregnancy-related or not. We are happy to help at any stage of your pregnancy, we just ask that you notify your therapist beforehand.

What if my problem returns after treatment?

We are confident in our education and experience that allows us to provide you quality service and care. However, we know that flare-ups are common. If you start experiencing familiar pain it can absolutely cause feelings of anxiety. If this happens, we suggest that you please come back and see us so we can reevaluate and discuss a possible modification to daily activities and routines and make sure that no further injury has occurred.

Why do I have to do the exercises if they make me sore?

Like most everything in life, we do not see change or progress unless we are forced out of our comfort zone. This is a difficult thing to do for ourselves. We as therapists are trained professionals that know just how far we can push you to see results without worsening the injury. We love our clients but we don’t want you to have to keep coming back. We want you to get to the point where you can do exercises on your own, and we push you so you can be independent. Not only do we not want you to rely on us, but we want you to not have to rely on other treatments or medications either.

How is my progress measured?

At your very first physical therapy appointment, your therapist will take many measurements. The first appointment will measure your deficits so that those numbers can be used as a baseline and a reference in the future. Prior to the follow-up appointment with your referring physician, these measurements will be repeated so the results can be sent to your doctor. The comparison can be read by both the therapist and the referring doctor. A choice for continuing therapy will be made based on need, improvement, insurance authorization and the opinion of the referring doctor. The opportunity for continued progress, pain relief, and your personal perspective will also be a contributing factor.
