Among the individualized, state-of-the-art programs we use to achieve optimum results for each patient are:
Athletes come in a tremendous variety of shapes and sizes. The demands of their sports differ, as do the surfaces they play on. Some are aerobic, others anaerobic. Some play and run on land and others in water. Some sports are oriented mainly towards upper extremity use, others lower extremity. We at Auro PT take pride and go to great lengths to simulate both positions played and other environmental considerations that our injured athletes compete in. Thus, there is a smooth transition in return to play and performance. We use Kinesio & Athletic Taping to facilitate stabilization, reduce pain and swelling in conjunction with excercises and training.
The cost of job-related injuries to the American industry is astonishing. Auro PT is committed to providing quality Industrial Reha
b services in order to return patients to gainful emloyment.
We take pride in our aggressive case management and effective communication with workers, referring physicians, case mana-gers and with our Injury Management Program, we provide patients and employers with the guidance, information, and treatment neces-sary for full recovery and injury prevention with the assistance of state-of-art Simulator II and PrimusRS by BTE.
Functional Capacity Evaluations that clearly outline the injured worker's current physical abilities as well as consistency of effort. Should the worker need further therapeutic intervention, time-specific recommendations are offered.
Job Site Analysis (Ergonomic Consultation): We can provide individual training or come out to the office to provide corporate training in ergonomics. Whether it is a factory setting, an office setting or your home office, ergonomic consultation can prevent workplace and overuse musculoskeletal injuries.
Auro PT's specialized treatment includes research-based and customized hand and upper extremity therapy. Hand and upper extremity therapy allows a patient to regain maximum use of their hand or arm following injury, surgery, disability, and disease. Auro PT's hand and upper extremity treatment program is designed to ensure patients receive the most advanced treatment available. Auro PT's program is derived from proven research-based outcomes and is customized for each individual's needs. Auro PT's program strengthens hands and the upper extremity to reduce the risk of re-injury and allow patients independence and quality of life.
Back pain will be experienced by approximately 50-80 % of the adult population at some point(s) in life. The peak prevalence of these disorders appears to occur between the ages of 55-64 years, and progressively tapers off thereafter. Back pain is one of the most common causes of disability, especially during the productive middle years of life. Primarily because of its prevalence spinal pain produces extensive disability and work loss and thus impacts considerably on the individual and society.
Spinal pain is not always a curable disorder and for many is a lifelong problem. No intervention has been shown to alter the underlying prevalence, incidence or recurrence rates. Passive modalities appear to have no role to play in the management of mechanical spinal pain while there is evidence to support a role for education and exercise.
One of the strongest risk factors for a future episode of back pain is a past history of back pain. Biomechanical risk factors include heavy and repetitive lifting, body
vibration, prolonged or frequent bending and twisting and sustained postural stresses. Prognostic factors include psychosocial, heavy manual work, sitting occupations, presence of sciatica and a lack of centralization.
We specialize in the Mckenzie Method. All staffs have training in this approach. We also utilize other treat-ments tailored to your problem such as Kaltenborn- Evjenth, Maitland and Mulligan Concept manual therapy and according to your physician's recom-mendation. We also utilize the state of art 3D Active Trac to treat certain spinal disorders.
Auro PT specializes in physical therapy for the pediatric client, ages 2 through 21. We enjoy working with children of all abilities and needs. Some children's t herapy needs may be very short term as in the case of sports injuries or reluctant walkers; where some children's therapy needs may be over a longer period of time as might be the case for a child with a significant developmental delay. Auro PT is proud to be able to offer neurodevelopmental treatment and sensory integrative techniques as appropriate during treatments. We offer aquatic physical therapy at your pool or a pool convenient to you. We are able to offer Threshold and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation as adjuncts to therapy.
If you haven't tried massage done by a physical therapist, then you haven't had one of the best massages you'll ever have. The Physiotherapy Massage combines massage types ( including Swedish, Deep Tissue and Trigger Point Work) with physical therapy techniques including joint mobilization, stretching, range of motion and muscle energy techniques to give you lasting results. The professional massage includes consultation with the therapist on whether further services would be helpful.
Graston Technique is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. The technique utilizes specially designed stainless steel instruments to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.
Personalized fitness through our wellness program, ergonomic education/training, fitness classes, massage therapy, community education seminars are offered to the community.

Tai Chi is a martial art based upon the principles of Chinese medicine, spiritual harmony and meditation. It utilizes slow movements to strengthen the muscles, improve coordination and increase flexibility. The breathing methods practiced in Tai Chi enhance deep relaxation of body and mind.

Auro PT is proud to provide hands-on and customized aquatic therapy. Aquatic therapy takes advantage of the physical properties of water, especially buoyancy. When submerged in water buoyancy supports a patient's weight which facilitates exercise without the compressive loading forces present with routine land-based programs.
Benefits of aquatic therapy include a patient's ability to reduce joint and soft-tissue swelling from the natural pressure of water. In addition, the viscosity of water and aquatic therapy allows patients enough resistance to strengthen muscle. Aquatic rehabilitation reduces the amount of stress placed on joints so it is especially well suited for patients who are in pain and are weakened due to an injury or disability. The decreased joint stress enables patients to exercise easier and with less pain. Our water temperature is kept at 93-940F.
