Welcome to Rascal Creek Physical Therapy

Serving the community since 1987, Rascal Creek Physical Therapy is widely regarded as a leading expert in the field of physical therapy.  Our goal is to return each patient to their normal daily activities as quickly as possible, at work and at home, fully functional and pain-free.  We emphasize patient education and participation in the healing process.  We'll teach our patient how to prevent recurrence of the current problem.  We'll teach the patient what needs to change to avoid associated disorders to which they may be susceptible. When the damage of a disease or accident prevent full recovery, we teach the patient the skills they will need to manage pain and limitations.

We maintain a warm friendly ambiance where patients feel comfortable and where there is plenty of open space for camaraderie and patient interaction.  Quilts, warm hearts and hands-on care from a friendly staff who cares about your recovery.  At Rascal Creek Physical Therapy we fully appreciate that the quality of our patients lives depends on our commitment and expertise. Patients and physicians agree. Our reputation speaks for itself!

Philosophy of the crew 

" In recent years, the healthcare system has been severely hampered by a heightened sensitivity to rising costs.  On the patient side, access to quality care and the expections of a full recovery have become "old school."  At Rascal Creek, we acknowledge and understand the needs of the insurance company and the patient.  We resist the notion that it is the patient who must bear the brunt of reduced benefits.  We are an "old school" solution to your physical therapy needs. We expect full recovery and provide quality PT with a contemporary twist."

We Specialize in. ..

Orthopedic Rehabilitation

Orthopedic rehabilitation encompasses a wide range of injuries and problems involving the joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones and peripherial nerves. In physical therapy we work to resolve pain, limited motion, gait problems, weakness, loss of function, and to prevent recurrence. We take a global approach to the patient's body and don't limit our evaluation and treatment to just the problem area.  We look at the whole patient and provide solutions.

Athletic Rehabilitation

Athletic injuries are essentially orthopedic injuries which have a sport specific component. Our goal for the athlete is to return the patient to the sport quickly, while preventing re-injuries through proper warm-up and training procedures.

Spinal Rehabilitation

Spinal rehabilitaion refers to problems with your neck or back.  It is a subspecialty of orthopedics and should be treated as such. Because of the unique structure of the spine and special problems related to this area, specilaized training is necessary to ensure appropriate treatment.

Because the majority of problems are mechanical, relating to specific activities, postures, and habits of the patient's life style, a mechanical solution is necessary.  Our staff are experts in spinal care with post-graduate training in the manual therapy approach to diagnosis and treatment.  A thorough evaluation will be performed to identify movements, positions, and activities that aggravate the condition as well as those that will decrease symptoms. Emphasis here is on active self-treatment in which the patient plays a vital role.

Hand Rehabilitation

Because of the unique structure, anatomy and functional requiements of the hand, specialized training is necessary for proper rehabilitation. Hand rehabilitation is truly a subspecialty of orthopedics. We work closely with your physician to be sure appropriate treatment is being rendered for the specific surgical intervention you have received. Splinting will be done as needed.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy is a specialized area of medicine, focusing on returning function and treating symptoms in the upper body.  This may be needed after a work injury, following surgery or with the repetitive trauma of overworking the wrist and hands.  Carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress disorders are particularly responsive to treatment by our OT.

Speech Therapy

By special arrangements with a local speech pathologist, you can arrange for treatment of speech and language disorders at RCPT as well.  This is a new service for us and we hope you will remember us if the need arises for Speech Therapy.
