Customized Physical Therapy Plans

When you come in for your initial visit, you will meet with one of our physical therapists for an in-depth evaluation and discussion of your condition. You will then receive a thorough examination to determine the cause of your pain. Based on your individual needs, the therapist will create a customized physical therapy program. We don’t just treat your pain – we show you how to keep it from coming back.

A Whole-Body Approach to Care

Whole-body rehabilitation is a more complete approach to physical therapy. It is built around the concept that your relief and recovery depend on treating your problem and the effects it can have on the rest of your body. For example, arm pain and leg pain are often tied to problems in the spine. Low back pain can be related to hip or pelvic disorders. Treating arthritis pain often requires a whole-body approach for lasting results.

We use hands-on treatments to correct postural alignment and design specific exercise programs to maintain flexibility and strength. The many treatment options and programs available at RecoveryZONE Physical Therapy include:

Manual therapy (hands-on), including visceral mobilization, which helps with all kinds of restrictions in the body
Muscle energy techniques, which realign the spine
Advanced strain/counterstrain, to eliminate tension and strains
Craniosacral therapy
McKenzie Method spinal and disc therapy
Manual perceptions and fascial regulators (techniques developed by a renowned massage therapist designed to work with your body’s natural self-healing process)
Work hardening
In-office and at-home exercise programs
Ultrasound and TENS therapy
Aquatic therapy
Frequency specific microcurrent (FSM)

Aquatic Therapy

At RecoveryZONE Physical Therapy in Klamath Falls, Oregon, our 25’ x 32’ therapeutic pool allows various levels of aquatic therapy activity even in the acute stages of rehab, which helps promote a more rapid recovery.

Aquatic therapy is a highly effective way to help relieve a variety of painful conditions, including joint pain, back and neck pain, arthritis, spinal problems, and more. Benefits of aquatic therapy include:

Treatment can begin sooner than on land
Reduces pressure by reducing gravity’s effects
Decreases muscle spasms
Improves flexibility
Promotes cardiovascular fitness

Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM)

RecoveryZONE is one of the few physical therapy centers using frequency specific microcurrent (FSM) to treat patients with nerve and muscle pain. This highly effective technique has been used since 1997 with exceptional results.

Microcurrent is a current measured in millionths of an amp and is the same current our own cells make to increase its own energy production. In comparison to other therapy systems, such as TENS, which use milliamps, the microcurrent is 1000 times greater.

Our therapist uses graphite gloves or pads to pass the current from the machine to the body. Pads deliver frequencies to your body that are believed to be good for your whole system and not just the muscles, while graphite gloves allow the therapist to feel your muscles and pass the current exactly where it is needed.

As the muscles and tissues react to different frequencies, the therapist can change the frequency to achieve the desired effect. The tissue will soften and become less painful at the correct frequency.

Every patient responds differently, but the pain relief that is achieved seems to be long lasting, and, in many cases, permanent. About 60-80% of the changes created in one treatment last until the next treatment, or about 4-7 days. Your muscle memory may return to its old configuration if not treated again. Although some patients have had permanent changes in one treatment, the average number of treatments depends upon the complexity of the problem.

Your body uses microcurrent energy to increase its own energy production of ATP (its own chemical energy) by up to 500%. This also boosts protein synthesis and waste product removal. It is therefore common to experience a detoxification reaction after treatment.

For some patients it creates effects similar to a deep tissue massage. Others may feel nausea, fatigue, drowsiness, or a temporary flu-like ache. Drinking ample fluids after treatment helps the body flush out the toxins and decrease side effects.

RecoveryZONE Physical Therapy offers a spectrum of hands-on therapies and modalities as well as therapeutic aquatic therapy and an on-site fitness center. For an appointment at our Klamath Falls, Oregon facility, call (541) 850-8909 or use our online appointment request form.
