Peak Performance also has therapists that are certified to treat Lymphedema. To begin a physical therapy program, the therapist will first do an evaluation.

This includes documenting your history,current and past. The therapist will also evaluate the following, as appropriate for your needs.

  • Range of motion and flexibility
  • Balance
  • Movement patterns I coordination
  • Function with daily activities (lifting,transfers,etc)
  • Scar mobility
  • Areas of muscle and tissue tenderness

The Women's Health Program starts with a one-on-one evaluation to establish a program to meet each individual's specific needs. The most effective treatment option is determined through cooperative efforts of the patient and therapist. Treatment options may include muscle re-education,manual therapy techniques and exercise programs. Our overall goal is to enhance each of our patient's quality of life. Treatment options include:

  • Therapeutic exercise to improve strength,mobility, and endurance
  • Muscle re-education to help improve patterns of movement and body awareness such as postural alignment
  • Self care strategies to provide education and understanding about your health problems and what you can do to help yourself for the present and the future
  • Manual therapy to improve joint and soft tissue mobility and flexibility
  • Therapeutic activities to problem solve difficult daily activities
