We Specialize in:

Balance and Fall Prevention

Falls among the elderly are prevalent, dangerous, and can diminish their ability to lead an active and independent life. About one in three seniors above age 65, and nearly one in two seniors over age 80, will fall at least once this year, many times with disastrous consequences.

Physical therapists can help prevent falls with an evaluation and development of individualized treatment plan including exercises for balance and strength training!

Pain Relief

Featuring advanced and revolutionary techniques which you have likely never seen or tried before. After a thorough history and evaluation, we will initiate a treatment strategy that will feature the latest and best manual therapy techniques. Learn more here.

Urinary Incontinence Care

Even though urinary incontinence is common, it is NOT a normal part of aging or normal consequence of childbirth. With appropriate Physical Therapy treatment you can return to the activities you enjoy and live the life you want!

Physical Therapy can:

Give you control over your life and your bladder
Save money and embarrassment by allowing less use of pads and undergarments
Reduce use of medications for incontinence
Possibly prevent the need for surgery

Alzheimer's

The goal is to maintain the highest quality of life that a person can have in any stage of Alzheimer's disease. Key elements of rehabilitation include: maintaining good strength, flexibility, posture, coordination, reducing the risk of falls, gait training, communication strategies, and working with the family and caretakers for the best results!

For the past 5 or 6 years I have suffered tendonitis in my upper left arm. I attributed this to doing excessive exercises with too large a dumbbell. I figured i needed surgery or physical therapy. Since Mr. Zagare has been treating me I noticed great progress. During the course of the day I feel no discomfort. Only when I do some exercises do I feel some type of sensitivity on occasion. I feel with continued exercises as prescribed by Mike Z I will be totally cured.

Marvin has Alzheimer's and requires physical therapy to improve his balance and gait. From the first visit from Distinctive Home Physical therapy, he has not only exhibited a noticeable improvement in walking, getting in and out of the car, standing from a sitting position, but Khairul has assisted Marvin in a change of attitude because of his success. Marvin walks straighter with less pain!

Khairul Pearson’s knowledge of the body and her skill in selecting appropriate therapeutic exercises has been most helpful to me. I look forward to continued growth in strength and easy motion.

I just wanted to write you a note from me to let you know how much I appreciate all your work and help for my mother. It was a very hard time and you softened the blow. I always looked forward to your visits. Mom enjoyed you and so did I. Maybe someone up above is watching over you and I. He sent you to us. I wish you good luck and hope we will always be in touch. Best Wishes

It is my great pleasure that I am writing this letter about my physical therapist Michael. He helped me develop the muscles in my legs and helped me get back on my feet. For a young man, he has such a great personality. My family and grandchildren noticed such a tremendous change in me very quickly and at one point we were even dancing! If this is Michael's behavior with all of his patients he will be extremely successful in his career.
