Welcome to Physical Therapy & Athletic Training
We believe in better movement for a better life.
Our team of physical therapists, athletic trainers and occupational therapists strive to help you move better, reduce pain, restore function, and maintain daily living and work skills. Our therapists blend science with inspiration and teach you how to prevent or manage a health condition so you can get moving again. This approach is applied for both acute injuries and chronic conditions
At NMC, physical therapy, athletic training and/or occupational therapy starts with an evaluation as we work with you to develop a treatment plan using a variety of techniques. We work with you to help you understand your body and reach your therapy goals. Often treatment focuses on adapting the environment, modifying the task, teaching the skill, and educating the patient and family in order to increase participation in, and performance of, daily activities.
NMC Rehab Services provides advanced hands-on skills that help relieve your pain and get your injured muscle and tissues moving again. We understand back pain has the potential to prevent you from everyday activities. However with proper education, stretching, and strengthening our therapists are determined to get you moving better! We will help you learn how to control your symptoms and protect your spine.

Cognitive Therapy – Provides interventions to address cognitive impairments to maximize independence and development of skills to enable people to participate in meaningful daily activities.
Driver Safety Assessments – Performed by our occupational therapists and offer a comprehensive driving evaluation consisting of two parts: one part in the clinic and the second part behind the wheel of a car.

Falls Clinic and Balance Therapy – Offers comprehensive evaluations by a physical and occupational therapist to help reduce the risk of falls and also to prevent falls.
Functional Capacity Evaluation – Also known as Work Hardening or Conditioning, this is a program tailored to the needs of an employee allowing them to get back to work quickly after an injury. Work rehabilitation/conditioning is for patients that are unable to perform all their essential work duties and/or are out of work. The frequency of work rehab is dependent on the individual and varies from 1-4 hrs/day up to 5 days/week. In some cases, an individual might attend up to 20 hrs/week of work rehabilitation so we can assist with getting them back to full duty.
Hand Therapy – Performed by an occupational therapist or physical therapist with focus on treating orthopaedic-based upper-extremity conditions.
Kinesiotaping – A rehab taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting range of motion.
Lymphedema Therapy – Helps maximize recirculation of fluid and reduce the risk of infection associated with fluid build-up or retention in soft body tissues.
Manual Therapy – Delivered with the hands, putting pressure on muscle tissue and manipulating joints to decrease pain caused by muscle spasm, muscle tension and joint dysfunction.
