What Makes My Physical Therapy Different?
Each session is one-on-one and custom-tailored to your needs and goals. I’m Edie Segal, a licensed physical therapist since 1994, and I personally conduct your care from start to finish.
You’ll receive focused, individualized care with careful attention to exercise form, posture, and body mechanics. Treatment is tailored to your goals—improving walking and stair mobility, building strength and endurance, enhancing conditioning, and nutritional guidance. Unlike many outpatient clinics that treat multiple patients at once, my sessions are fully dedicated to you.
Patient Types and Conditions Treated
I work with both children and adults, addressing a range of needs including arthritis, post-operative recovery, orthopedic conditions, general conditioning, flexibility, and strength training. Treatment focuses on improving function and supporting everyday activities.
What to Expect in Physical Therapy
Your journey begins with a comprehensive review of your medications, medical history, and surgical history. Each session includes vital sign monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation level.
Therapy may include stretching, joint mobilization, and soft tissue work. Treatments are customized to help you achieve your goals. You'll also receive patient education covering home exercise routines, nutrition, posture, and proper body mechanics.
Classes and Physical Therapy for your journey
I look forward to hearing from you to discuss your goals, schedule, and preferences. Looking for a custom plan? Share your goals and I’ll follow up with options. Questions about services, availability, or what to expect are always welcome.
