Beginning range-of-motion therapies and exercises as quickly as possible is vital to the prevention of long-term limitations.

Ongoing rehabilitation may help keep the injured area strong and flexible.

Schedule An Appointment

We don’t require physician’s orders.

Healthcare in the U.S. tends to give doctors and insurance companies control over treatment, but no one knows your body like you do. The California Direct Access Assembly Bill 1000 eliminates the need for physician’s orders when seeking physical therapy. That means you can now have your pain and mobility addressed by a trained professional without obtaining a referral from your primary care provider.
Skipping that time-consuming step allows you to start treatment sooner and receive care that is more effective in the long run. Starting your treatment sooner improves your prognosis, giving you the best chance at optimal recovery from your injury, disease, or condition.

Billing and Reports Delivered Within Three Days

We understand that you might need documentation on short notice for legal or medical purposes. When you request medical reports or bills related to our services, we’ll do our best to return everything you need within three days.

Physical Therapy in Woodland Hills on Your Schedule

Not everyone has the option to go to frequent appointments during regular working hours. We stay open until 7 PM on weekdays, so you can get the treatment you need without interfering with your home or work schedule. We’re also open on Saturdays.

Manual (Hands-On) Therapy

It can be challenging to find physical therapists who are still willing to get hands-on with their patients, but that level of dedication is exactly what most people need for optimal recovery. Manual therapy comprises any hands-on techniques that can be safely used to decrease pain and improve the range of motion of the musculoskeletal system. Manual therapy can also be known as:

Manipulative therapy
Manual patient care
Orthopedic manual therapy

By physically mobilizing, stretching, and manipulating the affected joints and muscles, we help our patients eliminate pain and disability, sometimes instantly. This fast and long-lasting relief is why we believe the integration of manual therapy as part of an individualized treatment plan is essential to exceptional patient care. Our patients often experience restoration of power and movement to their joints and muscles after just one appointment.

Manual physical therapy is based on thorough assessments of your existing condition and constant communication between you and your physical therapist. According to vast collections of research, customized manual interventions provide the most effective treatment when combined with targeted exercise.

Manual therapy provides rapid pain relief and improved function for:

Back and neck pain

Muscle tension headaches

Hip and knee osteoarthritis

Shoulder pain

Joint pain and stiffness

Throughout your treatment at Dynamic Physical Therapy, you’ll be monitored, and your treatment plan will be adapted to your progress. Along with manual therapy, your licensed orthopedic clinician will provide a customized exercise prescription and personalize patient education.

Orthopedic Consultation

Orthopedic physical therapy addresses any dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system. If you’re currently living with an injury or condition that affects your ability to function in your daily life, Dynamic Physical Therapy can help. Your physical therapist will be able to diagnose, manage, and even help prevent disorders that involve your bones, joints, muscles. They can even address limitations and pain caused by related soft tissues like ligaments, tendons, and connective tissue.
Our orthopedic specialists will evaluate your condition, including any related pain, and develop a treatment plan. Your treatment plan will include education to help you make the most of your rehabilitation and prevent further damage. When customizing your therapies, we consider all of your body’s vital systems, particularly neurological and cardiovascular, to treat the condition appropriately and achieve the best possible outcome.

Conditions That May Require Orthopedic Physical Therapy Include:

Surgery
Injury
Accident
Illness
Disease

Pain Management Consultation

Physical therapy can be a life-changing tool for rapid pain relief and ongoing pain management when your physical therapist focuses on manual therapy techniques. PT also promotes healing and the restoration of function and movement, which will help reduce or eliminate your pain permanently over time. Depending on your current condition, your physical therapist may choose to address your pain with passive or active therapies or a combination of the two.

Passive Physical Therapies Include:

Manual therapy
Application of heat
Application of cold
Electrical stimulation (like TENS unit)
Ultrasound
Dry needling
Cupping

Active Physical Therapies Include:

Movement-based activities (stretching, range-of-motion exercises)

Specific strengthening exercises

Pain relief exercises

Low-impact aerobic conditioning

Because everyone responds differently to different types of therapy, your physical therapist will monitor your condition and progress constantly and adapt your treatment plan as needed. Your treatment plan will include the correction of habits and movement patterns that might be making your pain worse.

Same-Day Preliminary Appointments Available

Before we create your personalized treatment plan, we’ll need to gather some information and perform an initial evaluation of your current condition. We know you’re anxious for relief and improved function, so we offer same-day initial appointments to get the paperwork out of the way and get you on the road to recovery. In many cases, the sooner you’re able to start treatment, the more optimistic your prognosis will be.
