OVERVIEW

ABOUT Occupational Therapy

You usually do not think about your body when things work. You stand up, reach for shampoo, lift a kid, or carry a heavy bag inside. When pain or weakness shows up, those normal moments take more effort. You might move slower, switch sides, or skip the task because it hurts.

Small changes can pile up fast. Your hand tires out sooner, your shoulder feels tighter, and you start planning your day around what you cannot do. Occupational therapy helps you stay involved in daily life with less pain and better control. At our Sun Lakes clinic, we focus on the real stuff, like dressing, cooking, driving, work tasks, and moving around your home.

BOOKING APPOINTMENTS

Call the clinic or schedule online with our form. We will tell you what to expect at the first visit and what to bring. Bring any brace, splint, or mobility aid you already use, even if it feels awkward. If one tool or task keeps triggering pain, bring it, or bring a photo so we can work with it.

SCHEDULE

REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT

Many people start with one to two visits each week. Early visits settle symptoms and restore basic movement, then later visits build stamina and real task tolerance.

DIAGNOSE

EXAM & IMAGING

We begin with what is hard right now, like bathing, cooking, typing, or getting through a work shift. Then we check motion, strength, coordination, balance, and how you move during the tasks that trigger symptoms.

TREATMENTS

CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM

We build your plan around what you need to do each day, not just what looks good on paper. Sessions can include strength and mobility work, hands on practice with daily tasks, pacing strategies, and simple supports like braces, taping, reachers, or setup changes.

FOLLOW UP

WE CALL TO CHECK IN

Each follow up checks what improved and what still feels stubborn at home or work. We adjust your home plan, then add new challenges in small steps you can handle.

I had an excellent experience at this facility. I didn’t know what to expect, and my arm/shoulder was really hurting. The therapists, the assistants, and the receptionist were all so friendly and put me at ease. Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed going to PT! They were all very professional and knowledgeable, and worked so well together as a team. My arm is back to normal again and I’m so thankful I found them.

What Are You Experiencing?

Most people don’t walk in knowing the exact treatment. They just know something hurts. That’s enough. Use the short form to tell us what’s going on, even if it’s just “my back feels tight” or “this pain won’t leave me alone.” Once we get it, we’ll give you a call and talk through what might be happening and how we can help.

  LOW  HIGH  

SEVERE PAIN

If the pain is so strong you can’t think straight, don’t wait. Call 911 or get to the hospital. Your safety comes first. Once that’s handled, we’ll be here to focus on the next steps with you.

MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT

This kind of pain doesn’t always stop your day, but it makes everything harder. Some describe it as sharp, others say it’s dull and always there. However you explain it, just write it down. We’ll use that to start figuring out what’s going on.

MINOR PAINS & ACHES

Little aches may seem easy to ignore, but they add up. A stiff shoulder in the morning, sore feet after work, or that one spot that acts up every now and then, they matter too. Tell us what you’ve noticed, and we’ll help you get ahead of it.

Answering Your Questions

Can OT help with shoulder pain that makes dressing hard?

Yes, we can work on reach, pain control, and better ways to move your arm. We also practice the hard part, like pulling on a shirt or fastening a bra.

Do you work on balance and fall risk at home?

Yes, we can train safer transfers, stairs, and bathroom moves. We can also suggest small home changes that reduce slips and rushed steps.

What if fatigue keeps me from finishing chores?

We set up pacing so you do not burn out halfway through the day. We also change how you stage chores, like sit breaks, lighter loads, and better grip options.

Do I need special equipment to start?

No, you can start with what you already have. If a tool would help, we keep it simple and pick options that match your routine.

What should I bring to the first visit?

Bring any brace, splint, cane, or walker you use. Bring one item or a clear example of what keeps bothering you, so we can work on it right away.

"Our goal is to help you solve some of your most painful life experiences."

MODERN PHYSICAL THERAPY & SPORTS MEDICINE
CEO

"When an athlete gets injured, a team of doctors and therapists evaluates them, orders imaging, and decides the best path forward. If surgery is needed, they go straight to surgery; if not, they get condition-specific physical therapy and targeted injections to speed healing. This is the same process pro athletes use to get back on the field quickly—and at Modern, you can access that same level of care for the same cost as any other physical therapy clinic."   - Josh Adams

Without Advanced Imaging

is Operating Blindly.

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT

CHOOSING THE MODERN WAY

What sets MODERN PHYSICAL THERAPY & SPORTS MEDICINE apart is that our physical therapists and orthopedists utilize advanced imaging technology to enable them to SEE what they are doing. That means care is guided by what we can actually see, not guesswork.

ADVANCED IMAGING + TREATMENT = MODERN

For the same price as ANY other physical therapy clinic...

we TREAT you
