What Can It Treat?
Physical therapy is a versatile, patient-centered treatment. It can address numerous symptoms and conditions. At Better Body, Inc., we primarily specialize in developing PT treatment plans for patients who have experienced traumatic brain injuries or suffer from neurological diseases.
We can also help patients accelerate healing after an injury or speed the recovery process after childbirth. While this is a very different experience from traditional PT offices, we work with each patient to alleviate pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Patients who have experienced an injury that has limited their mobility, caused them pain, or reduced their quality of life make good candidates for physical therapy treatment plans.
We can also design treatment plans to help women recover after pregnancy and recondition their muscles to improve strength, balance, coordination, and core definition. We also specialize in patients who have experienced a traumatic brain injury or suffer from neurological diseases.
Each PT treatment session is a completely personalized experience.

You’ll be asked about your symptoms, medical history, and health restrictions or physical limitations you may have. Once we gather this basic information and learn more about your treatment goals, we can design your treatment plan accordingly.
Muscle Reconditioning With EMSCULPT NEO®
EMSCULPT NEO® is a popular body contouring treatment that men and women undergo to improve their body composition and reach specific physique goals. One of the little-known benefits of EMSCULPT NEO® is that while it does have aesthetic benefits, it also is a muscle-building treatment that can meet the needs of physical therapy patients.
This device uses a combination of electromagnetic and radiofrequency energy to build and tone muscle while also reducing stubborn fat in five specific treatment areas. We can use the device to strengthen and build the muscles of the inner and outer thighs, abdomen, buttocks, flanks, and arms.
Treating Patients Who Have Sustained an Injury
Patients who want to recover from an injury and rebuild muscle groups but have limitations that prevent them from exercising can undergo EMSCULPT NEO® treatment sessions to target and strengthen their muscles without having to increase the risk of re-injury.
During this treatment, all you have to do is lie down on a treatment bench, and the device will force your muscles into involuntary contractions. You won’t have to move but can relax as it strengthens and builds different muscle groups per your needs.
Treating Women Recovering From Childbirth
Women recovering from childbirth who have noticed a significant decrease in muscle tone, definition, and strength can undergo treatments with EMSCULPT NEO® to restore their muscle definition and strength. While the abdominal area is one of the most common treatment areas for obvious reasons, we can also use this device to tone other muscle groups, especially if they have specific physical limitations after childbirth.
Treating Patients Who Need To Recondition Muscle Groups
Patients with traumatic brain injuries or who suffer from neurological diseases and need to rebuild or maintain muscle tone but can’t participate in rigorous workouts can benefit from EMSCULPT NEO® as it strengthens several different muscle groups without requiring patients to participate in a normal strength training regimen.
At Better Body, Inc. in Medford, NY, we offer physical therapy to help our patients alleviate their symptoms, improve mobility and function, and live pain-free. Pain and immobility detract from the quality of life and can impact your physical, mental, and emotional health. With a custom-tailored treatment plan, you can strengthen and rebuild your muscles and regain your independence, mobility, and life.
A Personalized Treatment Experience
We never take a one-size-fits-all approach to physical therapy but instead, consider each patient’s needs and goals in designing our treatment plans. We have a variety of treatments, methods, and techniques that we can use to strengthen the muscles, increase endurance, improve balance and mobility, and promote optimal health. Once we meet with you, we can better understand which of these methods is right for you based on your needs, restrictions, and limitations.
One of the benefits of physical therapy is that it provides you with built-in accountability; you’ll have someone who will walk you through exercises and techniques that you may not be able to do otherwise. You can trust our licensed physical therapists and physical therapist assistants to provide exceptional care during every personalized treatment session.
