​How We Help You Meet Your Goals

The origin of pain/limitation is not the same for every person.

A 15-year-old swimmer with shoulder pain does not have the same problem as a 55-year-old swimmer with shoulder pain.  Although both people point to the same area of pain, and both could be weak, the younger is most likely having trouble with instability, while the older is most likely troubled by stiffness.

Back pain in a 15-year-old is different from a 40-year-old, which also differs from a 65-year old.  Even though all three complain of lower back pain that limits activity and “feels stiff” when they move, the underlying causes are not the same.

We understand  that  similar pains or limitations do NOT have the same underlying causes.

For that reason, individualized examination and services help us to find the underlying causes of your trouble.   At that time, the most  comprehensive treatment plan can be tailored to reduce your pain and limitations and to reach your goals.

Use the links below to learn more about what is frustrating you or preventing you from reaching your goals.

Treatments that work

Because Lifestrength Physical Therapy of Towson, MD, is committed to direct patient contact, your Physical Therapist emphasizes manual treatment of movement dysfunction, which has been proven to result in better outcomes and quicker return to sports and activities of daily living. These include joint and soft tissue mobilization, range of motion, stretching or releasing techniques.

Additionally, your treatment will include therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, balance training, and functional activities.  Dry needling, heat, cold, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation might be used as indicated.

Insurance Reimbursement

As a service to you, Lifestrength can bill your insurance company for reimbursement, or you may pay out-of-pocket at the time of service.
