You Don’t Have to Live in Pain

by Gramos Pallaska, PT, DPT, FAFS

For many of us, physical therapy is something we will need at some point in our life. Maybe you or someone you are close to has already required physical therapy after an injury or after surgery. Perhaps you are suffering from everyday aches and pains due to the physical demands of daily tasks and work. Whatever the case may be, physical therapy is an excellent option for regaining strength, flexibility, and improving your overall quality of life. Luckily, there are locations near you in Brighton, Howell, and South Lyon, Michigan! Plymouth Physical Therapy Specialists was founded in 1994 by Jeff Sirabian, who has over twenty-five years of experience in orthopedics and sports medicine and has gone on to establish nineteen physical therapy practices, including the Brighton, Howell, and South Lyon locations.

Each location is committed to the highest level of patient care, current treatment approaches, advanced equipment, as well as same-day appointments.

Our therapists have the experience and knowledge to offer treatments that specialize in the following: • orthopedic injuries, • sport-related injuries, • repetitive strain disorders, • arthritis, • low back and neck pain, • workmans compensation related injuries, • balance and vestibular training, • post-surgical care.

Our Howell and South Lyon locations also offer occupational therapy, specializing in hand rehabilitation.

What makes Plymouth Physical Therapy Specialists unique from other clinics is our advanced training in Applied Functional Science (AFS).

AFS is a convergence of physical, biologic, and behavioral sciences that allows for purposeful movement. This integrated approach to rehabilitation focuses on the individual and their body as a chain reaction, as opposed to an isolated body part. Our therapists will find and treat the root causes of issues, instead of merely the symptoms. Our AFS trained therapists

have completed a 40-week post-doctorate fellowship that gives them the unique ability to find the body part that hurts, evaluate how it has affected the rest of the body, and successfully create a plan to fix it correctly. Traditional medicine focuses on treating isolated body parts. Our AFS trained clinicians treat the person as a whole.

We offer same-day appointments and are open from 6 am to 7 pm, Monday through Friday and Saturdays by appointment.
