Specialized Services

Pre and Post Concussion Management: River Therapies is the first physical therapy office in the Pittsburgh area that uses Neurolign DX100 for concussion objective measurements and treatment. Along with using the Neurolign device, the therapists also incorporate balance activities, therapeutic exercise, dual-tasks, vestibular therapy, and manual based on the client-specific treatment plan to reach our client’s goals.

Parkinson’s Disease Program: Our physical therapy team has the knowledge and education on the importance of exercise and balance training for the Parkinson’s population, We incorporate specialized Parkinson’s disease programs such as LSVT BIG, Delay the Disease, and PWR!Moves into treatment plans.

Aquatic Therapy: Aquatic therapy is provided in our Cranberry office. This specialty service provides relief for clients with limited mobility, sensory-seeking needs, arthritis, weight-bearing restrictions, and other impairments.

Blood Flow Restriction Training: Blood flow restriction training speeds up the muscle strength when clients are prohibited from weight-bearing and lifting. Blood flow restriction training can reduce recovery time in order to return to sport or back to prior level of function.

Wellness Program: Our goal is to transition our clients back into the community after our services are no longer needed. After clients are discharged from physical therapy, we continue our support through plans designed to maintain progress for a lifetime. Through our strategic partnership with Harts Run Fitness in Fox Chapel, our wellness program goes beyond the industry standard resources in order to give you the best possible care for a healthy future.

Pediatric Physical Therapy: Our sister company, River Pediatric Therapies, specializes in pediatric physical therapy with our children. We serve all ages, from infants as young as one month to be fitted for the correct helmet to active school age children who may need to recover from an injury. Our practice believes that playful and meaningful activities are needed to keep our clients engaged and to challenge themselves. Our dynamic gym is equipped with fun child friendly items such as a zip-line, ball pit, climbing walls and trampolines that will enhance functional independence and strength for our pediatric population.
