Empire Therapy - Helping You Achieve Your Goals
Adult Occupational Therapy (OT)
Adult Occupational Therapy helps people do everyday tasks after an illness, injury, or surgery. Empire’s Occupational Therapists help assist with mental health, behavior management, incontinence, chronic pain, anxiety, and emotional regulation.
Incorporating Bodywork for Healing:
- Primitive Reflex Integration: Retained primitive reflexes can impact sleep, concentration, vision, and movement. Specialized therapeutic exercises can help integrate these reflexes, improving coordination, vision, and fine motor skills to make daily tasks easier.
- Fascia Work: Fascia is a special type of tissue in your body that looks like a web or stretchy sheet. It helps your muscles, organs, and bones stay in place and work together correctly. Tight fascia can limit movement. Special techniques can help relax the fascia, making it easier to do everyday activities.
Common Diagnoses Treated:
- Concussion/Brain injury
- Dizziness
- Anxiety
- Chronic headaches
- Incontinence
- Vision problems
- Stroke
- Chronic pain
Adult Physical Therapy - (PT)
Adult Physical Therapy helps people move better, feel stronger, and reduce pain after an injury, illness, or surgery. Physical therapists focus on improving movement, flexibility, strength, and overall function.
Incorporating Bodywork for Healing:
- Primitive Reflex Integration: Retained primitive reflexes, especially after a brain injury, such as a concussion, can cause balance issues or make walking hard. Specialized therapy techniques can help integrate these reflexes to improve these movements.
- Spinal Alignment and Neural Mobilization: If the spine is out of place, it can cause pain and weakness. Empire’s physical therapists use unique methods to realign the spine, helping to reduce pain and improve movement.
