Aquatic Therapy
Water serves as a highly effective environment for the post-surgical or acutely painful patient seeking improved mobility and pain relief. Aquatic Therapy provides individuals who are not able to function well with their normal activities the ability to gain movement in a gravity-reduced environment that will allow for improvements in strength and function and successfully progress their recovery. Physical therapists lead small group classes twice a week and will manage your transition to or from aquatic and land-based therapy as appropriate. Contact VTFC
Ergonomic Assessment
Poor workstation set-ups often contribute to poor posture, pain and musculoskeletal dysfunction. Our physical therapists are trained to provide assessments either in the clinic or at your workplace to ensure that your work station is ergonomically sound. For general information on what you can do to improve your current workstation or posture visit our Patient Information Section on Ergonomics. Contact VTFC
Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs)
An FCE measures a patient’s work ability. Specifically, it assesses strength, flexibility, fitness and the ability to perform work-related tasks. FCEs can also help determine what type of work a patient is best suited for if he or she is not returning to a specific job. Patients may also enroll in our Work Conditioning Program to improve fitness and confidence following an injury before returning to work. Contact VTFC
Nutrition and Weight Management
This program is designed to assist individuals to improve their body composition through nutritional counseling and targeted exercise. Our nutrition program serves a spectrum of clients ranging from professional athletes looking to improve their body composition to individuals engaged in a healthy and controlled weight loss program. Our team of physicians, physical therapists, nutritionists, and personal trainers will coordinate to design a comprehensive diet and exercise program for the patient whose condition or situtation would benefit from a weight management program through the combination of improved dietary habits and increased physical activity. Private nutritional counseling sessions will be held at Virginia Therapy & Fitness Center and personal training sessions can be co-designed by our Physical Therapy and Personal Training Staff.

Custom Foot Orthotic Fabrication
Some individuals have pain in their lower backs, hips, knees, and feet related to complex foot dysfunctions. These individuals can be athletes, competitive or recreational runners, or even normal individuals that have are not as active as they used to be but have painful conditions that do not improve. Pain and dysfunction related to the feet usually stems from biomechanical compensations from their musculoskeletal systems not being able to appropriately absorb forces throughout their body. Our Physical Therapists are highly-trained and experienced in custom foot orthotics and assessing movement dysfunctions that can cause compensations and pain. You can expect a complete biomechanical examination of the individual’s lower extremity, pelvis, and lower back coupled with a custom casting of the individual’s foot to develop the best orthotic for each patient. Contact VTFC Osteoporosis Program Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bones of the spine or hip become fragile and increase the susceptibility of these bones to fractures. It is estimated that 10 million of the US population are currently diagnosed with osteoporosis and 34 million have low bone mass. Through our Osteoporosis Program, your therapist will work one-on-one with you in designing and supervising an exercise program to manage and increase bone mass. The program is tailored to each persons specific needs based on the diagnosis given by the medical doctor and bone density exams. The program entails a blend of postural assessment and education, balance training, strengthening exercises, and breathing and relaxation techniques. Contact VTFC

Learn More Contact VTFC Balance and Mobility Program Good balance and mobility are the foundation for a healthy lifestyle. Impaired postural stability can limit the extent and type of physical activities you pursue as you age. Improving and maintaining your balance can lessen your chances of falling. Regular exercise can lower the risk of frailty and dementia that would otherwise end your independence. Our balance and mobility classes can improve your postural stability and increase your self-confidence. Our classes are for anyone who is experiencing balance problems – older adults, patients with vestibular problems, patients with multiple sclerosis, or post-polio syndrome. You will participate in five groupings of exercise types to ensure a targeted approach toward enhancing your balance and mobility by Helping you to better control your center of gravity Providing you with balance challenges in stable and unstable conditions Improving the way you walk Increasing your strength and flexibility Enhancing your proactive and reactive postural strategies.
Exercises are systematically progressed from a very low level to a high level of balance challenge and from seated, to standing, to moving environments. The difficulty of an exercise is increased or decreased by manipulating task and/or environmental demands (eyes closed, low lighting, etc.). Contact VTFC
