We've Moved our Office to a New Location

We are pleased to announce that we have moved our office to a new location. It's very close to our previous clinic as it is about a block east and across the street on Cedar Avenue. We now have our own parking, larger patient rooms, and a sign right on the main road.

Please stop by and say, "Hi!" to us at our new clinic. All of our Physical Therapists and Office Staff are very happy with this new move and look forward to continuing to serve our Flagstaff patients. Come on by, we'd love to show you around!

Our New Address is: 2100 East Cedar Avenue. (click here for a map)
Our Phone Number is still: 928-214-7430

On The Ball

There are good reasons why you are very likely to see those large exercise balls at the physical therapist’s office. These brightly colored pieces of exercise equipment (which also go by the names Swiss, balance, fitness, and physio balls) are extremely versatile. Your physical therapist can use an exercise ball to design an individualized treatment program that can improve balance, agility, posture and coordination. Exercise balls can also assist with stretching to increase range of motion. Exercise balls activate core stabilization by training the muscles of the spinal column as the body works to stay in balance. This can be of benefit when creating a treatment plan to address neck and low back pain.

Physio balls are just one of the many different types of equipment that the physical therapists use at PERSONAL CARE PHYSICAL THERAPY. If you’ve been hurt – on the job, while playing sports, in a car accident, or are simply recovering from surgery – our therapists will create a personalized regimen for you. We will work with you and your doctor to provide you with the best care possible. Call us at (928) 214-7430 to make an appointment or visit our facility at 1515 E. Cedar Ave, Suite E2. Remember that you have the right to choose your own physical therapist. Choose the one that can serve you best.

Under Great Strain

Why do Achilles tendon ruptures occur so frequently among “weekend warriors”? The Achilles tendon, which is the thickest and longest tendon in the body, connects the heel to the calf muscles. As these powerful muscles contract, they push the foot downward, which makes it possible for us to stand on our toes, walk, run, and jump. As strong as the Achilles tendons are, each is subjected to the entire weight of the body with each step. During a sprint or push-off, each Achilles tendon must bear up to 3-12 times a person’s body weight. In the United States, undue strain results in over 230,000 Achilles tendon injuries each year. To avert injury arising from strain due to tightness or weakness, the Achilles tendons must be stretched and strengthened.

If you are suffering from a damaged Achilles tendon, or any other sports injury, then you need to call PERSONAL CARE PHYSICAL THERAPY for an appointment today. Our therapists can get you back on your feet. We can help you whether you’re a weekend warrior or a pro athlete. We also specialize in the treatment of orthopedic, industrial, arthritis, and hand injuries. Call (928) 214-7430 today to learn more about our wide range of services. Our address is 1515 E. Cedar Ave, Ste E2.
