The goal of the program is to enable persons with disabilities to learn to drive safely and independently in their own vehicles with the use of adaptive equipment and/or compensatory techniques. The evaluator identifies individuals with physical or cognitive impairments that have the potential to drive safely and then works with them to acquire their permit or license. This includes clinical and on-the-road training with one of our certified driving rehab specialists.

AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill

This enables patients to exercise in comfort and rehabilitate with confidence, while maintaining their natural gait to avoid bad habits that may lead to further injury.

Dry Needling

Physical therapists use dry needling with the goal of releasing or inactivating trigger points to relieve pain or improve range of motion. Dry needling is a treatment that involves inserting a very small needle into an area of muscle tension/pain or trigger point to help that muscle relax, thereby also reducing pain and improving function. The needle allows a physical therapist to target tissues that are not manually palpable. Dry needling can be included in your physical therapy treatment, or done as a private pay service. If you have further questions about dry needling treatment, please contact your nearest Sports Plus or Lift Therapy Clinic location.
