Therapists work to make patients stronger, relieve their pain, and help them regain function so that they can resume activities of daily living such as walking, dressing or bathing. Physical Therapists strive to keep their patients healthy and safe.

In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, The Jackson Clinics aims to continue to provide physical therapy (PT) services to all of our patients as we realize the importance of continued rehab. We continue to take all precautions and follow CDC guidelines to keep our locations as safe as possible for our patients. If you feel, however, that you do not want to come into the clinic to complete your usual PT visits, we have created a Telehealth/Virtual PT visit option that is both simple and effective.

Our skilled Doctors of Physical Therapy can take you through your normal physical therapy session via telehealth/video chat and provide you with many of the same skilled services that would be provided in the clinic.

People who cannot tolerate traditional exercise programs find the water to be the perfect medium for exercise. It promotes pain relief due to the buoyancy property of water that provides support for your joints. It decreases weight bearing so that compression of the joints is minimized. The therapeutic benefits of water include the ability to perform functional movements that may otherwise be inhibited on land such as walking and squatting. The water provides support and therefore patients experience a reduced fear of falling and greater mobility.

Aquatic therapy promotes increased venous return and assists in improving circulation which aids in decreasing swelling and increasing range of motion. Participating in therapy in the water allows patients to work on balance training and postural awareness while strengthening weak muscles and improving overall endurance. With all of these benefits, it is no wonder that our aquatic programs are especially popular.

Therapy for vestibular disorders can take many forms. The type of exercise utilized depends upon the unique problems that the individual demonstrates during the evaluation. Some exercises are geared toward helping with balance, some with helping the brain resolve differences in the inner ear signals, and some with improving the ability to visually focus. In addition, general exercise is often prescribed to improve overall physical health and well-being.
