Innovative service is at the heart of what Meadows Physical Therapy, Inc. is all about. The therapeutic treatments provided are the work of a dedicated quest to find the most effective and long lasting interventions possible. We understand, however, that our patients are individuals, thus we take every effort to make the treatment environment comfortable, positive, and conductive to healing. We strongly emphasize not just what we do, but how we do it. Our physical therapists meet weekly to discuss, review, and educate each other regarding treatment approaches. Continuing education courses are attended regularly to learn new, cutting-edge approaches to rehabilitation. The therapists at Meadows Physical Therapy, Inc. have developed substantial innovative approaches and techniques that you will not find anywhere else. In 1998 Meadows Physical Therapy, Inc. joined Future Industrial Technologies as an injury protection consultant. Any business looking to reduce injury in the workplace should take interest. We believe this will give any business, large or small, a competitive edge. Whole Foods International, the City of Ukiah, and University of California are some the companies Herman has consulted with. Below you will find our treatment approaches grouped by category: |
||
Advanced Manual Therapy - A passive treatment technique in which the therapist's hands are skillfully used to examine and treat musculoskeletal problems, including muscle tension and myofascial scar/joint restrictions.

|
Therapeutic Exercise - Used to promote strength, core stability, joint range of motion, balance, and endurance. We commonly prescribe gentle exercises that promote joint mobility and reverse muscle imbalance (tight, shortened, and weak muscles). Patients routinely receive home exercise programs as part of their rehabilitation program to compliment skilled hands-on work.

|
Modalities - Technology that utilizes heat, electricity, and sound waves or cold to enhance manual treatment effects and facilitate pain reduction.

|
Patient Education - Instructing patients about their conditions and what needs to be done to minimize symptoms, maximize functioning, and decrease reoccurrence is an integral part of each patient's physical therapy program. We place special emphasis on achieving long-term results that can be maintained independently if possible.
