-Massage Therapy: We use various forms of massage therapy to relax your muscles and help improve your tolerance to exercise and activity.

-Exercise Therapy: Flexibility, strength, endurance, and balance are improved through gym activities and an individualized home program.

Leif McGuire is an avid golfer and has been tsrained in the "Back to Golf" method. He can help you improve flexibility, strength, posture, and balance so that you can shoot lower scores and have less pain.

-Pneuweight Suspension System: A unique tool that we use to decrease weight bearing forces in the injured athlete. It also allows us to challenge those with balance impairment while eliminating the risk of falling.

-Diabetic Rehabilitation: We work with Type II diabetics to lower blood sugar levels naturally through specialized conditioning. Exercise obstacles, such as pain and safety are overcome by exercising on gravity reducing equipment, while monitoring blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and glucose levels throughout each session.

-Body Mechanics Training: By teaching you how to use your body differently, the activities that normally result in trauma can now result in exercise.

-Concussion Management/Preseason Postural Stability and Cognitive Testing: NFL players receive concussion testing before each season begins to establish baseline performance information. When a player is suspected of sustaining a concussion, they are re-tested. Players are not allowed to return to full contact until their post injury test results return to pre-injury status.

Now, your kids can have the same type of testing to help with return to play decisions. McGuire Physical Therapy uses the Biodex Balance System along with standardized cognitive testing to establish baseline ability prior the start of full contact practice.

If your child sustains a concussion, they return for daily re-testing. If their test performance worsens with repeated testing, they are referred back to their physician for further diagnostics. Once their post-injury test results are as good as their pre-injury test results, their physician is notified so that a safe return decision can be made.

Assessment cost: $80.00

-On-Site Ergonomics Consultation: We will come to your workplace and help make changes that can get you out of pain once and for all.

-Medical Gym Membership: For those who would like to use our facility upon completion of their physical therapy visits, a monthly gym membership is available.

-Functional Capacity Evaluations: Standardized testing is used to determine a worker's ability to return to their jobs. A work conditioning program can be customized to help build a worker's tolerance to their essential job functions.

-Senior Fitness Evaluations: Our proprietary software program lets you know how your level of fitness compares to the fitness level of others your age. Problem areas in strength, mobility, and balance are identified so that an effective exercise program can be developed.

-Pre-season Performance Testing: Have you ever wondered:
Does my child have an increased risk of injuring their knee,hip, or ankle?
When is the best time to return to play following an injury?

McGuire physical therapy utilizes Biodex Athletic Single Leg Stability Testing to help answer these questions. We evaluate your student athlete prior to the start of season. Test results are compared to normative data collected from other athletes of the same age, gender, and height to help identify instabilities which may lead to injury. Then, specific training advice is given to work on any weaknesses that have been identified.

McGuire Physical Therapy also uses the baseline test results from pre-season testing to help parents, couches, and physicians make safer return to play decisions. In the unfortunate case that your child sustains a lower extremity injury, they return to our clinic for re-testing. Once post-injury performance is as good as pre-season performance and adequate healing time has elapsed, their parents and physician are notified so that an informed return to play decision can be made.
