Licensed Physical Therapists at Maya are trained to use various physical agents for therapeutic applications. These physical agents could be mechanical, light, sound, thermal (cold and hot), electrical, in nature. These modalities often help in restoring mobility, subcutaneous delivery of medications, improve blood circulation to injured tissues, relieving joint swellings and muscle spasms. We employ the following modalities, described briefly below:

• Cryotherapy – Ice packs are used to relieve swelling, muscle spasms and inflammation
• Light Therapy – Physical Therapists use lights of varying wavelengths to direct harmless energy at an injured site. This helps in accelerating the healing process. Some of the types of light used here are Infrared, Cold Laser Therapy, Laser Therapy, Ultraviolet.
• Ultrasound – Ultrasound therapy primarily promotes tissue healing by enhancing blood supply to superficial tissues (depth of 6 centimetres at the most). Ultrasound are typical high frequency sound waves inducing local heat to initiate deep tissue heating, thereby unlocking hidden stresses and relieving pain and muscle spasm
• Phonophoresis – Ultrasound is used to deliver topical medications like Cortisone through the skin, thereby treating localised inflammations (Tendinitis, Calcaneal Spurs)
• Moist Heat – Thermostatically heated Water bath is used to provide superficial heat. By enabling tissue softening, preliminary stresses, if any are relieved and this softened tissue is now readied for other treatments

• Mechanical Traction – Especially useful for Whiplash pains (neck and lower back pain) originating after a car accident. In this modality, the patient is harnessed to a mechanical traction machine and force applied longitudinally and in directions at your lumbar and cervical area in such a manner that hidden stress forces locked in the neck and back are relieved.
• Myofascial release technique – Myofascial restrictions are hidden stresses generated by some kind of trauma or inflammations. This technique involves the Physical Therapist applying pressure to the pain site to relieve muscle spasms and pain.
• McKenzie Method – Dr. Sanjay Nadu at Maya Physical Therapy is a McKenzie trained Physical Therapist. This method involves an assessment process intended for musculoskeletal problems of the neck, back and other extremities (ankle, knee, shoulder etc.,)
• Postural Correction – Initial analysis of the body’s posture leads to identifying specific postural problems that are then corrected by restoring proper alignment of the musculoskeletal system, thereby reducing undue strains.
• Gait & Balance Training – Upon an analysis of your walking style, deviations are determined and training and various exercise techniques prescribed to imbibe proper movement patterns to the body (both static and in dynamic positions)

Wear loosely fitting clothes so that it becomes convenient for you to bare the area that we will be inspecting and evaluating. Loose fitting shirt & pants, tank tops, shorts etc., are great ideas.

Length of appointments is at the discretion of the therapist, but please be sure to set aside at least 45 minutes for your appointment.

This is highly variable. You may need one visit or you may need months of care. It depends on your diagnosis, the severity of your impairments, your past medical history, etc. You will be re-evaluated on a monthly basis and when you see your doctor, we will provide you with a progress report with our recommendations.

We will coordinate appointments suitable for your schedule. Should you have a preference of staying with a particular therapist, please be sure to mention so at time of scheduling appointments.

Physical Therapy is more comprehensive and customized to your skeletal structure. A physical therapist is trained to not only relieve you of spasms, pain and dislocations but also devise a best possible scientific treatment protocol to ensure your body heals by itself and stabilizes your core. Access to modern medical technology and the knowledge of the overall human body enables a Physical Therapist to be in a better position to correct your ailments or injury.

Depending on the evaluation results, massage may be a part of the treatment protocol for you. Typically massage is used to relieve hidden stresses in a tight muscle, pain and facilitate venous return from a swollen area. If you’re diagnosed with these conditions, the physical therapist may consider massage necessary

Yes. Florida State through a legislation has enabled Direct Access. Direct Access, as the name suggests, lets you access Physical Therapy services directly. At least, to an extent that you as a patient can receive an “evaluation and some form of treatment without physician referral.” For more details on how Direct Access can be leveraged by you, please click here

Depending on your endurance and internal musculoskeletal structure, you might have to continue with a customised gym regimen, home exercise program or even complete rehabilitation and return to daily activities. It is very crucial that you openly communicate with your physical therapist so that nothing is missed out, while designing a customised program that’s fun to implement for you.
