Beyond Therapy is a physical therapy center that offers innovative therapies, including intensive suit therapy. Our mission is to help children and adults with cerebral palsy and other neuromuscular disorders achieve greater independence by providing comprehensive and intensive physical therapy programs.

Our unique approach helps accelerate progress in motor skills. Intensive therapy can provide strengthening, flexibility, increased endurance and enhanced functional skills. Many patients acquire skills such as rolling, crawling, sitting, and/or walking which they have never been able to do prior to participating in this type of physical therapy program.

Hyperbaric Healing Institute, Inc. and BeyondTherapy provide Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Intensive Suit Therapy under one roof. 

Functional and Developmental Physical Therapy

We offer the traditional model of outpatient pediatric and adult therapy, in which the client participates in anywhere from one to several sessions per week, each lasting one to two hours.

Intensive Physical Therapy

Therapy sessions last from 2-4 hours, five days per week, usually for three weeks. This type of therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals with neuromuscular disorders, such as cerebral palsy, stroke, or traumatic brain injury, or for intensive rehabilitation following surgery or Botox injections.

Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic therapy utilizes the buoyancy of water to support body weight in individuals who are unable to bear full weight.  Water can also provide resistance to movement for strengthening and balance challenges. Water offers unique sensory input which can be either  calming or alerting, depending on the application.  We offer aquatic therapy at the Wexford Place Retirement Community pool, just minutes from our facility.

Hippotherapy

Hippotherapy is the use of a horse to facilitate therapy, which addresses core strength and trunk control. The three dimensional movement of the horse simulates the human gait pattern and provides dynamic balance challenges to the individual’s postural system.

Manual Therapy

The therapist uses these hands-on techniques to put the body in a better position for movement and function.  Techniques include myofascial release, muscle energy, strain-counterstrain, contract-relax, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF).  Manual therapy is incorporated into both intensive therapy and regular outpatient visits as appropriate.
