OUR SERVICES

 At Beyond PT all of our services are designed to get you back doing what you love to do. Dr. Wheatley combines her excellent knowledge and experience as a movement specialist with her compassion and connection to truly provide a unique physical therapy experience with one goal in mind: Improving your movement. All treatments focus on assessing, improving and educating patient's on their injuries and treatment strategies moving forward.

In this 60 minute session a comprehensive, skilled evaluation will be completed, an individualized care plan will be established and treatment will be initiated. Treatments may include; manual therapy, joint mobilizations, dry needling, soft tissue massage, and other therapeutic exercises. Dr. Wheatley will design the specific treatment plan based on the evaluation and your goals.

All follow sessions are a full 60 minutes with a trained physical therapist. They focus on progressing the treatment and recovery to achieve patient goals. As with evaluations, a variety of treatment methods are used depending on the best method to aid the recovery process. Follow-up session quantity and frequency are determined together based on type of injury, progress, goals and patient desires.

Dry needling is the process of placing thin monofilament needles into muscle, bone, and tendon to restore functional biomechanics and homeostasis within the body. Dry needling effects are based on the bodies ability to heal itself. This option is excellent for localized pain or targeted preventative maintenance.

Note: Dry needling can also be completed within an evaluation or follow-up and pairs greatly with other manual and therapeutic exercise options. This 30 session option is for dry needling only and is only available after an initial evaluation. Consider this choice if your pain/injury is confined to a small area and you only want dry needling with minimal/no exercise instruction.

Cupping Therapy is the practice of using  plastic cups to create a suction effect on the skin. This effect increases blood circulation, loosens muscles and connective tissue, decreases inflammation and creates a soothing effect on the nervous system. The cups can be moved over the surface of the skin (Dynamic Cupping) or can be left in one location (Static Cupping). Common areas for cupping are the back, hamstrings, calves and quadriceps.

"Claire went over and above, coming to my house specifically to help me out.  She was able to help me with some dry needling to recover after a hard week of workouts as I train for a local fitness competition."

"Claire did PT with me, following a leg amputation. She was very knowledgeable about my physical therapy needs, which was so reassuring given the difficult circumstance. She was also incredibly encouraging and kind, always prompt with her appointments, and all in all, I felt very lucky to work with her! Anyone would be fortunate to have the opportunity to do PT with Claire! Highly, highly recommend her!"
