MTI Physical Therapy

At MTI Physical Therapy our physical therapists completed advanced clinical training and specializations in  manual therapy, orthopedics and sports therapy. 

 Having advanced clinical training is not the norm in the industry but is part of our company culture. Our practice model of one-to-one care, having the therapist see only one patient for one hour, allows for ample time for teaching, practice, and professional development. This pace of practice and availability of mentorship greatly accelerates the therapist’s skill set well beyond their years of training.

Custom Orthotics & Physical Therapy

Quality custom orthotics can alleviate pressure, eliminate pain, support ankle ligaments and promote foot stability. At NTI Physical Therapy, our trained and experiensed  physical therapists can provide you with orthotics that uniquely fit the contours of your feet, giving you the maximum amount of function, support, and comfort.

Several conditions directly or indirectly related to the feet can cause discomfort and pain in your feet, knees, hips or lower back. General ailments and diseases that affect the body as a whole can also affect your feet health leading to disorders and biomechanical misalignments. If not controlled and corrected those disorders can cause foot pain. Below are examples of diseases that can be the cause of foot pain. These conditions can all be treated with physical therapy:

METATARSALGIA:

Metatarsalgia is a painful disorder that affects the joints and bones along the ball of the foot. This condition is often caused by ill-fitting footwear or restrictive footwear. Orthotics are usually recommended to help reduce pain caused by metatarsalgia.

PLANTAR FASCIITIS:

Plantar Fasciitis is a painful condition along the sole of the foot; and in particular, the area that connects the heel bone to the toes. It occurs when the thick tissues along the bottom of the feet become tight or inflamed. Pain can occur in the heel or the arch of the foot. Plantar Fasciitis can be caused by obesity, age, and standing for long periods of time on your feet.

HEEL SPURS:

Heel spurs are a bony protrusion on the heel that is usually made of some sort of calcium build-up. While the actual spurs are not painful they can poke the tissues in the heel and potentially cause severe pain. Many of the same risk factors that cause plantar fasciitis can also cause heel spurs.

Our physical therapists and have extensive knowledge of gait analysis and biomechanics of the lower extremities. They will determine what will work for your feet and will provide a custom fitting taking into consideration your current medical condition and activity level.
