​​​​​​​Postural Restoration

PT STOP physical therapy & wellness is proud to be a certified Postural Restoration Center, offering a wholistic approach to care through the principles of the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI). Unlike traditional orthopedic physical therapy, we focus on the whole picture, addressing the interconnected systems of the body to address pain and dysfunction effectively and restore balance and harmony within your body.

Our treatments go beyond the norm by collaborating with multidisciplinary professionals such as dentists, neuro optometrists, and orofacial myofunctional therapists to create individualized care plans. Whether you are dealing with pain, orthopedic dysfunction (something is tight, unstable, pinches, recurrent injuries), or neurological challenges, we are committed to providing comprehensive solutions tailored to your unique needs.

​​​​​​​Dental Integration

Mayami collaborates closely with dentists and orthodontists in Los Angeles area to address the profound impact of dental occlusion on posture and movements.

You may feel the left side of your teeth touching more heavily than the right side when your teeth touch together, or vice versa. You might feel contact only at one spot - such as just the front teeth. How your teeth come together directly influences the position of the neck, head, and the rest of the body, potentially leading to changes in overall alignment and function.

​​​​​​​Vision Integration

Our visual function greatly impacts our overall function, performance and posture. Mayami collaborates closely with a neuro-optometrist to assess patients’ binocular functions. The eyes do more than just see - they help us sense the space around us, guiding how we move and orient ourselves. How our eyes perceive the environment directly influences our posture, balance, and movement patterns.

​​​​​​​Custom Orthotics

Some patients may require orthotics to sense certain parts of their feet while standing. We will thoroughly examine your condition to determine the need for orthotics. Your brain perceives information from the ground beneath your feet, which influences your muscular engagement in your body all the way up to the neck during standing.
