Our driving commitment is to provide you the absolute highest level of care possible. And that’s not a cliché—it’s a promise. Our therapists are highly trained professionals who have studied at some of the most prestigious programs in the nation. Further, we have outfitted our five treatment facilities throughout the region with the utmost in innovative medical equipment. As a result, Lucas Therapies significantly exceeds national outcome averages—meaning that our patients get well quicker and with a better overall result than those suffering from the same medical issues across the country. The highest compliment paid to any business is to have repeat customers. At Lucas Therapies, we receive that compliment daily. While nearly half of our growing client base consists of new patients, many clients have come to rely on the professionals at Lucas Therapies for all their therapy needs. ORTHOPEDIC THERAPY Tendonitis? Bursitis? Arthritis? Tennis elbow? Bone fracture? Neck or back strain? Joint replacement? Lucas Therapies has got you covered. Those suffering from pain and reduced mobility due to musculoskeletal issues will benefit from the restorative qualities of orthopedic therapy at Lucas Therapies. Our highly experienced staff offers in depth knowledge of conservative and post-operative rehabilitation of all outpatient orthopedic conditions. SPORTS MEDICINE At Lucas Therapies, we have rehabilitated athletes of every age and tier—from fulltime pros to children injured on the elementary school playing field, from college stars to weekend warriors! Many of our therapists are themselves athletes and coaches with an extensive knowledge base in specific sports, including football, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, lacrosse, swimming, golf, track, wrestling and volleyball. Additionally, our professionals provide sideline assistance at numerous athletic events and frequently lecture to groups on rehabilitative and injury prevention topics. Lucas Therapies provides the most comprehensive sports injury rehabilitation and prevention service in Southwest Virginia. After all, we’re not only sports therapists, but sports fans as well—and we’re committed to getting you back in the game. WELLNESS & PREVENTION We all want to be as active as possible in life. Unfortunately, life in and of itself can sometimes thwart those plans. Lucas Therapies works with individuals and athletes to develop strategies for enhancing wellness and avoiding injuries. In addition, our professionals frequently speak to groups about injury rehabilitation and prevention. HAND THERAPY A pioneer in the field of occupational therapy, Ruth Galle, OT, CHT, was the first Certified Hand Therapist in Southwest Virginia. Since she joined Lucas Therapies over a decade ago, Ruth’s vast knowledge and expertise has helped literally thousands of patients recover from traumatizing hand conditions. Because effective rehabilitation is critical to the success of any hand surgery, every hand surgeon in the western part of Virginia has relied on Ruth to work with patients to achieve outstanding rehabilitative results. With over thirty years of experience, Ruth is uniquely qualified to assess and treat even the most difficult cases. WORK INJURIES Lucas Therapies is unquestionably the premier provider of Worker Compensation rehabilitation services in Western Virginia. The injured worker can be one of the most difficult cases to manage. In addition to treating the injury itself, the therapist must understand the legal requirements of Worker Compensation law, the employee’s job requirements and status, the employer/employee relationship, duty limitations and return to work policies, and physician and case manager recommendations. Our staff is distinctly qualified to navigate the difficult conditions surrounding a workplace injury—providing maximum benefit for both the injured worker and employer. In fact, Lucas Therapies’ Orange Avenue facility is entirely dedicated to the rehabilitation of the injured worker. Additionally, we provide worksite evaluation and treatment services within the facilities of many area employers to improve workplace safety and reduced costs. WELCOME At your first visit, your therapist will evaluate your range of motion, functional movement, pain at rest and with activity, and strength. Your therapist will then work closely with you and your referring physician to develop an individualized treatment plan based on your specific goals to facilitate your road to recovery. At every stage of your therapy, your therapist will show you how to remain active while avoiding injury at work, home, or play. WATER THERAPY One of the best ways to rehabilitate sports injuries and joint replacements, aquatic therapy provides earlier function with less pain. To maximize the benefits of therapy in a ‘non-weight bearing’ environment, our therapy pools feature underwater treadmills and generate current to create focused resistance. Therapists will lead their patients through various water depths, alternating speed and duration of exercises—creating an extremely effective method of rehabilitation that feels great! WHAT IS PHYSICAL THERAPY? At Lucas Therapies, we like to think of physical therapy as our way of getting you back to your life. When you find yourself facing a physical dysfunction of injury, our therapists will use a hands-on approach to help your body restore movement, reduce pain, and prevent disability. Therapeutic exercise and the application of modalities (such as hot or cold packs or electrical stimulation) help restore the normal functions of your body.
