Outpatient Physical Therapy

Spine and Joint Rehabilitation Specialists
No matter if you’ve had shoulder surgery, knee replacements, or artificial discs, you deserve specialized rehabilitation planning. Our physical therapists have advanced training in the pain-free Mulligan Concept and McKenzie Method for back and neck pain. Our team has extensive experience to treat you with manual techniques and therapeutic exercises. Spine treatment and relief from fibromyalgia are two of our specialties.

Pneumex Unweighting System
For patients who cannot or do not want to use the heated pool for aquatic therapy, the Pneumex unweighting system decreases pain and increases strength by providing controlled, precise, weightless motion for the spine or injured joint.

Premier Physical Therapy is the only provider in the Charleston, SC, area to provide the pain-free Pneumex. For more information, visit www.pneumex.com, or call us at (843) 797-5167.

Return to Work and Office Ergonomics

Pre-Placement Agility Tests (PATs)
Employers such as Delta, Roadway, and Yellow Trucking screen job applicants with pre-placement agility tests (PATs). These tests simulate job duties and allow prospective employees to demonstrate their ability to safely perform the required tasks.

Workplace Ergonomic Analysis
Ergonomic analysis helps employers to prevent employee injury and create effective return to work programs. We visit the site to measure the physical demands of the job, and then design workplace ergonomic solutions, such as correct workstation setup and lifting technique. This program reduces new hire injuries by up to 20%.

Functional Capacity Evaluations
To evaluate long- and short-term disability and readiness to return to work, functional testing measures your push, pull, and lifting tolerance, range of motion, muscle strength, and cardiovascular endurance.

Work Conditioning / Work Hardening
For those who have been away from work or need conditioning for demanding jobs, this advanced work conditioning program consists of cardio, lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling. Customized to each job, this program delivers the best results in 4–6 hours a day, 3–5 days a week.
