Pain Management
Move with less pain. Move with confidence.
At Unity Move Physical Therapy & Wellness, we combine expert clinical care with modern tools—force plates, surface EMG biofeedback, and a guided exercise library—to find the root cause of pain and help you return to the activities you love.
Why physical therapy beats pain‑only solutions
Pain meds may turn down the volume. We address the source. Your plan blends education, graded activity, and targeted interventions so relief actually lasts.
- Restore mobility and tissue capacity—so everyday loads feel easier.
- Re‑train control and timing—so joints move in safer, efficient patterns.
- Lower reinjury risk with progressive, measurable milestones.

Technology that makes your care clearer
We use technology to reduce guesswork and personalize your plan. You’ll see what’s improving and why it matters.
- Force plates quantify balance, loading, and power so we can dose exercise precisely.
- Surface EMG (sEMG) biofeedback helps retrain muscle activation without over‑recruitment.
- Computer‑vision joint angles guide form and tempo for safer movement.
- Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) keeps you accountable between visits.

FAQs
Will exercise make my pain worse?
We dose movement to calm, not inflame. You’ll get clear guidelines on what sensations are safe and when to back off. Progress is gradual and measurable.
Do you use heat, cold, or other physical agents?
Yes—when they help you move better. We combine symptom relief (e.g., heat/cold, e‑stim) with targeted exercise so relief translates into function.
How does Remote Therapeutic Monitoring work?
Between visits, we track adherence and symptoms, adjust your plan, and answer quick questions—so you stay supported and accountable.
Is this safe if I have arthritis or a past injury?
Absolutely. Your plan is individualized to your medical history and goals. We progress loads only when your tissues are ready.
