PROGRAMS
Cancer And Rehabilitative Exercise (C.A.R.E. of Maryland): The goal of the C.A.R.E. Program is to improve your quality of life by reducing fatigue during and after cancer treatment. Treatments used to fight cancer, such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy; not only destroy cancer cells, but also destroy many healthy cells. The result is often a decline in optimal physical function. Exercise has been shown to have a positive effect on patients undergoing cancer treatments and cancer survivors. The individualized program will address loss of motion, strength, flexibility, cardiovascular endurance and functional mobility. If desired, a patient can be placed in a group with similar programs to help motivate and provide a support system.
Adult Conditioning Program: The Adult Conditioning Program is designed to address the needs of individuals who wish to begin an exercise program or continue with an exercise program post-rehabilitation. Programs are individually designed for each participant and are often conducted in small groups with others at a similar level in order to help with motivation. The goal of this program is to increase strength, flexibility and endurance and to improve posture, balance and function.
Sports Performance: Mady and Mules Physical Therapy works with area sports performance centers in order to provide an environment that allows for more in-depth conditioning programs and sport specific training. Programs are developed for individuals of all ages and ability levels.
Orthotics Casting/Fitting: Prescription orthotics are custom-made forms which correct your individual foot problems. They are made of high-impact materials and are designed to be inserted right into your shoes. The most important feature of a pair of orthotics is that they are made specifically for your feet.

Vestibular Rehabilitation:
Vestibular Rehabilitation is an
exercise-based program designed
to significantly reduce or eliminate
symptoms of vestibular disorders
and/or vertigo by promoting
central nervous system
compensation for inner-ear deficits.
The program is designed to
decrease dizziness and visual
symptoms, to increase balance
and walking functions and to
increase general activity levels.
Based on a complete evaluation
and assessment of symptoms,
the therapist generates a list of
problems to treat, short-term
and long-term goals are
established and an individualized
treatment plan is developed.
Balance Program for Older Adults:
Prevention is key! This balance
program will work on ways to
improve your balance by establishing
an individualized exercise program to
promote strength and flexibility,
develop safe transfer techniques,
and work on walking safely indoors
as well as outdoors. We will educate
you on ways to prevent falls along
with making home safety recommendations.
Pregnancy Program for Expectant Mothers:
During pregnancy, all women experience changes
in their bodies. Due to these changes, individuals
can experience painful symptoms including lower
back pain, sciatica, leg cramps, carpal tunnel
syndrome and other musculoskeletal issues.
The Pregnancy without Pain program has been
designed to address these symptoms through
hands on treatment as well as education. As
Physical Therapists, it is our main goal to provide
early intervention to patients dealing with
pregnancy-related pain. Early diagnosis and treatment
can prevent the development of chronic conditions,
as well as allow you to return to your normal activities
of life without pain or limitation.
