Treatment for the Whole Person

Miracle of Health Physical Therapy opened in 2001 to offer an enhanced treatment model for outpatient physical therapy offering longer appointment times for manual (hands-on) treatment approaches that consider the whole person including cranio-sacral therapy, neuro-fascial release and soft tissue mobilization as well as home exercise programs, stretching, functional strengthening and modalities such as ultrasound and moist heat. We recognize that the body is a complex integrated network of systems organized around the skeletal structure, stabilized by the fascia (connective tissue) and governed by the central nervous system. For optimal long-term improvement the whole person must be recognized and treated as opposed to an injured joint or body part. The cause and nature of each person's injury is different, therefore; each patient is unique and requires an individualized approach to expedite their healing process.  

​

Experienced practitioners are here to provide you with thorough treatment in a safe, comfortable environment where healing the whole person is the ultimate goal. It is a privilege to be trusted with the care of your body and its astounding ability to heal. We have upgraded our air purification to Aerus Activepure technology to provide the safest air space for treatment in Columbia County, NY. 

​

​In 2020 in response to the growing need for stress management and detoxification the increased use of additional holistic services including quantum bioscanning using biofeedback, cold laser (light therapy), biomat (far red light waves), ionic footbaths and education about /rental of digital resonators was called for. We also offer nutritional advisement and supplements including oral and topical CBD, alternate topical pain relief options, body support products such as orthotics and Incrediwear garments (fabric infused with carbon and germanium to relieve inflammation and increase circulation), practitioner referrals, and Aerus activepure products including air purification systems. A Longevity ozone steam sauna is the newest addition to our available modalities for health and healing, and we are working toward offering hippotherapy (the use of the movement of horses to help patients reach their therapy goals).  

​

If you have pain, weakness, difficulty with activities of daily living, desire assistance managing increased stress and detoxifying or simply want to improve your health and increase your longevity we would like to help. If conventional physical therapy has not met your needs we strive to offer a different approach. This office does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, gender, medical condition, political affiliation or any other defining characteristic. Our staff members are generalists and we welcome patients from 1 day to 120 years old with any condition(s). 

​

To all patients we have had the privilege of serving for the past 23 years thank you for your support. We are grateful to you, and we recognize you are the reason we continue to learn, grow and love the work we do.
