How We Treat

At Mesa Physical Therapy, you will feel a genuine concern for your good health the moment you walk in the door. Our goal is to make you feel at home and welcome in our relaxed, comfortable atmosphere.

We have the experience and training to treat any pain problem or rehabilitation need you may have. We utilize hands-on treatment to reestablish correct postural alignment and specific exercise programs to maintain flexibility and strength of the body. We not only treat your pain, we show you how to keep it from coming back. Our treatment options include:

  • Manual therapy: This includes joint and soft-tissue mobilization, massage therapy and manual traction.
  • Neuromuscular reeducation: To improve balance, coordination and posture.
  • Electrical stimulation: To decrease pain and swelling and facilitate faster healing.
  • Ultrasound: To create a deep heating effect that can reduce pain spasm and joint stiffness in addition to increasing flexibility of muscles, tendons and ligaments.
  • Iontophoresis/phonophoresis: These treatments utilize topical medication to help reduce the symptoms of tendonitis and bursitis. We also offer a medicated patch that patients can wear for effective relief.
  • Light therapy: We use the latest technology, Dynatron Solaris, for tissue repair and to treat inflammation.
  • Home exercise programs: We will create a customized program to help you recover from injury, improve strength, balance and coordination and enhance your ability to perform.
  • On-site rehabilitation center: Our comprehensive center includes exercise balls, free weights, Total GymTM, trampoline, pulleys, treadmill, LifecycleTM, and more.
  • Cold Compression: We utilize Game Ready ™ for swelling, inflammation and joint pain.

What to expect during your first visit:

During your first visit, we select the treatment options to fit your particular condition and needs. We never make a patient fit a particular treatment philosophy. We recognize that a teenage soccer player has different needs from a computer programmer or a retiree. Together, we determine if you need an aggressive approach or soft gentle approach.

When you come in for your initial visit, you will complete a health history (if not completed prior to your visit). Click here to download and complete your forms ahead of time.

Your therapist will then evaluate your condition in a private treatment room to determine the cause of your pain and establish the best treatment methods and exercises to most effectively remedy your problem.
