Additional Therapies/Information
Through the Peter B. Lewis Aquatic & Therapy Center, Occupational and Speech Therapies are also available on the Menorah Park campus.
The Peter B. Lewis Aquatic & Therapy Center specializes
in the older adult population, but provides appropriate services
to adults of all ages in need of rehab therapy. The rehabilitation
therapists help clients improve strength and mobility, maintain
independence and improve everyday skills.
Physical therapy can begin with land-based therapy, or it can follow
aquatic therapy. The client meets one-on-one with a physical therapist.
An assessment is done, followed by the development of an exercise
regimen. The exercises are done during physical therapy visits,
and diagrams/descriptions of exercises are given to the client to
do independently at home.
MCKENZIE BACK THERAPY
Suffering from lower back or neck pain can affect
every part of daily life. Whether sitting in the car, standing to
brush teeth, bending to put on shoes, or trying to carry groceries,
the simplest chores can be excruciating. The McKenzie Method has
been proven to decrease short-term pain and disability, and is better
than massage, strength training, use of anti-inflammatory medications,
or spinal mobilization, according to research.
Deb Glett, PT, a physical therapist at the Lewis Aquatic Center since 2000, is now a Certified McKenzie Practitioner. With an emphasis on active patient involvement, Deb will prescribe a personalized exercise program for each client, and provide advanced hands-on techniques to manage symptoms and improve mobility.
