Specialized Physical Therapy Plans Offer Optimal Health

by Jamie Killin September 2, 2018
written by Jamie Killin September 2, 2018

Spooner Physical Therapy is a locally owned and operated practice offering physical therapy solutions for everyone from infants to 100-year-old adults, providing individualized plans that aim for long-term solutions.

“Every plan is individualized,” explained clinical director Garrett Johnson. “We really try to work with each individual patient on what’s going to work for them both in terms of what types of treatments are going to be most effective, as well as what’s going to be cost effective.”

Most patients come in suffering from lower back pain, to recover from an operation or a sports injury, or for vertigo or balance issues.

To better treat many of these ailments, Garrett recently earned his certification in dry needling, which can help eliminate pain and release stubborn trigger points in the muscle.

“It causes the muscles to contract more easily and normally,” he said. “Often, painful muscles won’t contract at the same rate. They won’t work. They’ll be a little sluggish, and this actually can help speed that back up and make them power more efficiently, as well as decrease pain.”

Spooner Physical Therapy aims to get to the root of a patient’s issue by treating the muscle and joint dysfunction—not just eliminate pain. For most patients, however, the improved functionality helps end the pain.

“Usually, pain reduction is an effect of what we do,” Garrett said. “It’s not always the complete goal. We really want to improve the functional ability of the people, as well, not just make things feel better.”

However, one of the most important aspects of Spooner Physical Therapy’s practice is providing patients with the education they need to continue the progress they make at the clinic and to avoid suffering the same injuries in the future.

“I like that people trust me in that they come back to me with their pain issues,” Garrett said, “but I really don’t like to see people for the same thing twice. Our goal is to make that long-term effect.”

Spooner Physical Therapy also provides free consultations to help patients assess which services and treatment plan will be most effective for them.

Spooner Physical Therapy, in North Mesa, is located at 6824 E. Brown Road. To learn more, call (480) 924-5514, or visit spoonerpt.com/locations/north-mesa.
