Keep in mind, both you and your baby are learning a new skill at the same time. And your body is adjusting to producing enough food for another human.

- Why Rely on Luminis Health to Get Your Game Back?At Luminis Health Physical Therapy, sports physical therapy is our specialty — we see more patients in this category than any other. That means we're uniquely qualified to help you get back to the top of your game. Other reasons we're a front-runner in sports physical therapy include:We use the latest technological tools. Even the most experienced sports physical therapist can't see certain things in real time. Take your golf swing, for instance, or your running stride. Because your movements happen so rapidly, one after the other, the human eye can't always detect important details. That's why we film you in motion, then review the video at a slow speed. This approach is valuable for spotting issues we can resolve with certain exercises. What's more, we use a sophisticated professional platform to analyze your swing, gait or running form. And we can electronically share the video analysis with your coach or trainer.We have a dedicated Sports Performance Zone. Want to take your skills to the next level? This unique program combines traditional physical therapy with sports performance. Our team creates a personalized rehab program for you, then monitors your progress. We conduct tests and evaluations to determine when it's safe for you to get back on the field or the court. And our facility features everything from Olympic-standard lifting equipment to a turf track for strength, agility, mobility and speed training.We offer a special sports group. Are you a high-level weekend warrior? College athlete? Or do you have a physically demanding job, like construction? You're comfortable being part of a team and thrive on friendly competition. Join our return-to-sport group and you'll get all that and more as you build up your endurance. Classes are two hours and meet twice a week. You'll also get a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.TreatmentConditions/Services/Treatments PageOur physical therapists have sports-specific expertise to help you recover from an injury or surgery.

- Why Rely on Us to Treat Your Vestibular Disorder? When a vestibular disorder throws your life off balance, we're committed to getting you back on an even keel. Additional reasons why you should trust us for your care include: We have experienced, certified therapists. The physical therapists in our vestibular disorders program don't just concentrate on treating these conditions — they've taken advanced training to become certified vestibular therapists. And we work hard to keep up with the latest research in the field. We partner with other health professionals. Our specialized physical therapists often work with speech language pathologists to treat related issues. For example, say you started experiencing dizziness and thinking problems due to a concussion. We have speech therapists who are specially trained to teach you techniques for coping with thinking and memory issues. We'll personalize your treatment plan. No two people with vestibular disorders are exactly alike, even if they have an identical diagnosis. Our vestibular therapists carry out specific assessments that pinpoint areas of impairment. With this information, we can tailor a treatment plan to meet your individual needs. We make it convenient to come see us. We have satellite clinics, so you can choose the location closest to your home or workplace.ConditionConditions/Services/Treatments PageWe treat all types of disorders of the vestibular (balance) system. We can help improve symptoms like dizziness and vertigo with vestibular rehabilitation. What You Should Know About Vestibular Disorders Tiny structures in your inner ear that detect head position and movement make up your vestibular system. It also includes the nerve connecting your inner ear to the brain, and part of the brain itself. This network helps keep you upright and enables you to sense where you are in space and see clearly when you're moving. Some diseases and injuries can throw a wrench into your vestibular system. And the underlying problem often can't be fixed with medication or surgery. We have physical therapists who are specially trained to help tame the debilitating effects of vestibular disorders. This means you can go back to dancing, playing tennis, attending classes or whatever else nurtures your body and soul. Symptoms of vestibular disorders People with vestibular disorders can experience: Dizziness. Difficulty walking. Sensitivity to motion. Trouble balancing. Vertigo. Bouts of any of these symptoms can seriously disrupt your life. Activities from driving to simply standing in place can become much more difficult — even dangerous. Staying upright may require so much physical and mental energy that you're exhausted after doing even the simplest tasks. You might also stop doing most physical activities for fear of triggering or exacerbating symptoms. All these things can lead to loss of muscle strength and fitness as well as emotional distress. Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy that can minimize these issues. It includes individualized techniques that train the brain to use other senses to take over for your impaired vestibular system.
