Overview The Nassau Difference Your Body. Your Choice. Managed Care Testimonials

		Our philosophy of healing and personal care. Nassau Rehabilitation is not a large, imposing institution. Each of our patients is important to us, and we serve them with courtesy, respect, consideration and, above all, a high level of professionalism. We understand that a physical disability, and its associated pain and lifestyle restrictions, can sometimes create anxiety. That is why we provide a hygienic, stress-free, and relaxed environment to treat your injury and set you on the road to recovery. Our décor is comfortable and inviting, and our treatment rooms offer complete privacy. Our staff of expert therapists and exercise specialists are among the finest in the New York Metropolitan area. Their strong, gentle hands, and caring nature, will help you work toward a speedy recovery. Most importantly, our Director is always on premises to offer advice, lend support and discuss your progress. Welcome to the Nassau Rehabilitation & Sports Therapy Family. Top
		Time tested technique. High tech application.   Overview 1 on 1 Care Advanced Facility Certified Staff   Recently, there has been a movement in physical therapy to shift the emphasis away from traditional rehabilitation techniques towards exercise based programs. That’s why many rehabilitation centers look like gyms. At Nassau Rehabilitation & Sports Therapy, we’ve assimilated the best information from numerous international experts concerning the benefits of utilizing varied types of physical therapy techniques. The use of interferential currents, for example, developed in Germany and widely used throughout Europe, is very effective in reducing pain, inflammation and muscle spasm. Diathermy, ultrasound and hydrotherapy are also used to relieve pain and inflammation. (We have three fully equipped hydro-therapy rooms on the premises.) These modalities, supported by the therapist’s soft tissue manipulation and joint mobilization, prepare the patient for proper therapeutic exercise protocols. From a physical rehabilitation standpoint, this is the best of both worlds. We have the ability to reduce pain and inflammation, while rebuilding function through restored strength, endurance and range of motion. At Nassau Rehabilitation & Sports Therapy, we are proponents of isokinetic exercise. This method, pioneered by Cybex, allows the patient to safely exercise in a comfortable pain-free range, exerting only as much force as is appropriate. When a patient approaches their pain threshold, the equipment actually detects the stress and reduces the amount of force. Our state-of-the-art gym features progressive/resistive Cybex equipment for every part of the body, including cycles and ergometers. Life Fitness, the leader in cardiovascular exercise, is also well represented throughout the facility. A full complement of Life Fitness equipment including cycles, treadmills and ergometers rounds out a comprehensive arsenal of advanced, high-powered machinery. Time tested therapies and up-to-the-minute technology are what set us apart from less comprehensive physical therapy centers. Top
		Do the research before you do the work. It is important to understand that your physician’s recommendation for a physical therapy center is just that — a recommendation. You have the right to determine which center is right for you. Choosing a facility based on competency of staff, convenience of location, and the experience to perform every facet of your therapeutic protocol correctly and efficiently is critical to your rehabilitation. From the outset, dealing properly with pre-operative and post-operative conditions requires a great deal of skill. Performing the wrong treatment at the wrong time may either negate the surgical procedure, or prolong disability and pain. The bottom line: it is your body. Weigh your choices carefully, and you will be able to make the best decision for your particular needs. Top
		We get the most benefit out of your insurance coverage. Understanding and implementing each insurance company’s plan is critically important in order to maximize our patients benefits. Nassau Rehabilitation & Sports Therapy will structure an office visitation schedule combined with a home exercise program that takes advantage of every allowable visit. More often than not, a patient will require more therapy time than is provided for by their insurance company. That is why Nassau Rehabilitation & Sports Therapy offers an Aftercare Program to help the patients continue therapy after insurance coverage has expired. Nassau Rehabilitation & Sports Therapy is a preferred provider, and works with most major managed care providers including Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Blue Choice, CIGNA Health Plans, HIP, Empire Plan, Oxford Health Plans, Physician Health Services, Vytra, United Health and many others. We also welcome worker’s compensation and no-fault patients. Top
