Force = Mass X Acceleration

Don’t let this formula scare you! All it simply means is the following: Whenever we exercise our muscles, we are using Force to lift more or lift faster. There are two ways to get stronger: lift heavy weights (increasing the MASS to get more Force), or lift lighter weights but faster (keep the same weight but increase the ACCELERATION). WAVE vibration exercise works on increasing acceleration (rapid movement of the platform) rather than increasing the amount you lift, thereby placing less stress on your joints and ligaments.
Vibration training has been shown to have positive effects on flexibility and bone density as well as other desired outcomes.
It is not right for everyone, so ask your therapist if it can work for you.

In early 2006 Congress, imposed an annual cap that limits the physical, occupational and speech therapy services for all Medicare patients. This annual cap limits the amount of outpatient physical therapy to $1810.00 maximum. Patients are responsible for any services rendered beyond that limit. We are committed to providing you with very cost-appropriate therapy, and most of the time your therapy with us has concluded before you reach the cap. We are able to supply you with any information regarding your year-to-date Medicare account total at your request. Many Medicare patients are eligible for additional therapy beyond the $1810.00 cap, and we will help you with this process when appropriate. Please feel free to speak with your therapist or the administrative staff if you have any questions.

We believe that injury rehabilitation should start as soon as possible. Therefore, our clinic is open from 8:00am to 11:00am on Saturday mornings. This assists those athletes that have busy schedules and cannot attend during the week or the athlete that is injured in a Friday evening contest. Our highly skilled physical therapists and certified athletic trainers will screen your injury and lead you through the correct steps for recovery. We aim for a casual and fun atmosphere, with bagels and conversation to get you on the road to wellness!
