What We Do

WHAT WE DO

We diagnose and treat movement problems, which may involve pain, weakness, stiffness, balance difficulties, and loss of function. More specifically…

We treat people with all types of injuries, including:
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Overuse injuries
• Slips and falls
• Sports injuries
• Work injuries

We treat people with various conditions, including but not limited to:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Reconditioning after illness
• Fibromyalgia
• Osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease)
• Post fracture
• Post joint replacement surgery
• Post shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, and foot surgery
• Post spine surgery
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Sciatica
• Spinal stenosis
• Thoracic outlet syndrome
• Vertigo and dizziness
• Walking and balance problems

We treat “regional interdependence.” Sometimes shoulder pain is actually caused by a problem with the neck. Sometimes wrist pain is actually caused by a problem with the shoulder. Sometimes leg and foot pain is actually caused by a problem with the low back. And so on and so forth.  This concept is known as “regional interdependence.” At Laurie Samet Physical Therapy we embrace the concept of regional interdependence by providing thorough evaluations and comprehensive treatments—and that makes for a more efficient, complete, and long-lasting recovery.

A problem in any of the following areas may prompt you to seek physical therapy:

• Head and neck
• Thoracic (rib) cage
• Shoulder
• Elbow
• Wrist and hand
• Low back
• Hip
• Knee
• Ankle
• Foot
