Wellness Evaluation
RVNAhealth offers one-on-one sessions with a physical or occupational therapist even if you are well. Whether to increase endurance, increase strength, train for a sport, or expand one’s capacity for exercise, our team of therapists partner with you to achieve your goals safely and confidently. Examples of services include:
Annual check up to get ahead of any strength changes or concerns
Post-therapy ‘tune up’ to make sure your home program is still effective
Development of exercises for weight loss, with considerations for pain or joint limitations
Helping individuals meet their personal physical fitness goals
Individual Fitness/Aftercare Memberships
The RVNAhealth Rehabilitation & Wellness Center gym is available to individuals interested in maintaining strength and fitness after ‘graduating’ from therapeutic treatment. Still under the watchful eye of your therapist, ‘Members’ may use the gym and exercise at specified hours of the day. Our self-directed physical fitness program is an excellent way to stay strong and retain fitness in a warm and inviting environment.
Fitness to Drive Evaluations & Therapy
RVNAhealth’s Fitness to DRIVE program is available to help anyone improve their driving skills and maintain their independence on the road –whether you are recovering from a recent medical illness or condition, or you just want to validate your driving skill set. You will perform a series of in-office assessments for vision, hearing, sensation, cognition, motor skills, and coordination. Upon completion, you and your family will have clear understanding of your fitness to drive and ways you can improve your driving skills. If determined, therapy may be recommended in the areas of deficit whether it be physical, occupational or speech. Click her to learn more or call 203.438.7862.
Running Assessments
To help new and veteran runners stay healthy and active in their sport, RVNAhealth is pleased to offer running assessments by a certified gait analyst. The evaluation includes video analysis of running mechanics; strength assessment of muscles related to proper mechanics and injury prevention; flexibility assessment; a foot and shoe analysis; and an individualized home exercise program based on the evaluation results and aligned with personal goals. Call for questions and pricing.
Golf Evaluations
RVNAhealth offers Golf Evaluations, providing a comprehensive assessment that includes an evaluation of the flexibility, strength, power, balance, and mechanics of your golf swing. By identifying areas of impairment, we can develop an individualized exercise program and golf drills tailored to your specific needs. At the end of the evaluation, we will provide you with a personalized exercise program and golf drills specific to your impairments. These exercises and drills will help you improve your flexibility, strength, power, balance, and mechanics of your golf swing, leading to better performance on the course and decreased risk of injury. RVNAhealth board-certified sports physical therapists are available to evaluate and treat golfers of all levels. Call for questions and pricing.
Custom and Semi-Custom Orthodics
RVNAhealth offers custom and semi-custom orthotics as a specialty service to help resolve and prevent injury. At an RVNAhealth orthotics appointment, we perform a complete treadmill gait analysis; take digital photos of your feet; review old shoes to see wear pattern; evaluate feet in standing and laying (non-weight bearing) positions. We make a plaster of Paris mold of the foot in a perfect gravity-eliminated state, capturing the foot in its natural state. Orthotics are intended to prevent further change and deformity in the foot — and in some cases are successful in ‘re-training’ the foot back to a healthier state — and our process successfully supports that intent. The RVNAhealth team currently includes two trained Stride Orthotics Specialists, fully educated on the process.
