Comprehensive Rehabilitation at Portera Rehab

Portera Rehabilitation in Lanham, Maryland offers physical therapy services for numerous ailments from back pain to neurological disorders. They provide wound care, prosthetic fittings, neurological rehabilitations and ergonomics. If the very last doesn’t sound familiar, that’s because it’s the study of a person’s efficiency in the work environment. In this area, Portera simply studies various work environments and makes requests for equipment to be manufactured to prevent injury and to improve quality production. Portera is currently in process of beginning study and services on Sports Therapy.

Physical therapy Lanham Maryland is especially dedicated to not only helping those who have been injured at work or school sites. They are also dedicated to preventing these injuries. They don’t just limit themselves to work and school environments, however. They are also dedicated to ensuring that homes are properly set up for patients in order to prevent further injuries.

Not every injury can be prevented. For example, crossing guards and the children who cross with them run a small risk of getting run over while on the job. Occasionally, a driver will choose not to stop in spite of the fact that the crossing guard is standing out in the middle of the crosswalk doing their job. Unfortunately, no one except the driver and a working versus non-working vehicle is in control of this. However, Portera, aims to prevent as many injuries where they can be prevented as much as possible. No one should have to suffer from the effects of preventable injuries for the rest of their lives.

Physical therapy Lanham Maryland provides comprehensive therapies in order to best get all of their patients back on their feet. In some cases, the effects of the damage may not see a complete reversal but Portera does its best to help patients to narrow the gap between the original hindering effects of their injuries and their potential to live more independent lives. They are committed to providing evidence-based services and to being patient-centered.

Portera Rehab’s homepage has a connection to Move Forward Physical Therapy’s tip page on biking. The page points out that if you are a bike rider experiencing pain anywhere from your neck to your feet, the culprit could be anything from an improperly set saddle for your height to a misaligned cleat. Having a bike fitting issue is the number one cause for injury while riding a bike. As a result, it is essential to always have your bike properly aligned and fitted while riding it.
