Neuromuscular Re-Education
Are you struggling with gait and balance issues and unexplained falls? Dr. Alexandra can leverage a range of neuromuscular Re-Education techniques to rewire your brain and retrain your muscles to restore and improve your standard body movement patterns.
If you are wondering about the neuromuscular system, it is responsible for producing movements in the right direction. Nerves send messages to the brain to control the location, time, and speed of muscle movement. At Chaux PT, we maneuver this system's components to help you regain your balance.

What's more, we teach you how to do daily chores with the correct posture for a successful postpartum recovery plan.

Chaux PT also helps with post-cesarean section symptoms. Statistics show that 18% of the 1.4 million cesarean sections performed annually in the US result in chronic scar pain, lower back pain, abdominal pain, painful bowel movements, and premenstrual pain. Our tested and proven techniques to relieve these symptoms include:
- » Trigger point release
- » Visceral mobilization
- » Myofascial release
» Assisted Stretching in Ventura, CA
Release body tension and regain flexibility with our assisted stretching techniques.
Everyday activities exert pressure on your muscles. The outcome of excessive muscle tension is body stiffness, hand numbness, post-workout pain, tingling effects on hands, posture and balance issues, and other problems that may significantly impact the quality of your life. We can help relax your body to keep these issues at bay.
Note that assisted stretching is often localized- it can target one muscle. But we also offer global postural stretching, which targets the whole body to restore muscle balance, flexibility, and tone.
» Physical Therapy for Pain Management in Ventura, CA
Over 40 million adults (in the US) struggle with chronic pain, but most opt for pain killers instead of addressing the underlying issues. Painkillers only block pain messages in your spinal cord and brain. They do not solve the actual cause of the pain. What's more, they are common culprits for drug dependency, depression, and anxiety.
You can do without opioids for pain management. Get in touch with Chaux PT today for manual therapy, breathing exercises, therapeutic exercises, and education that will help you get rid of pain without pain medication.
» Physical Therapy in Ventura, CA for Balance and Fall Injuries
Do you experience imbalance? A compromise to the auditory, proprioceptive, or visual system could be the source of the problem. When it comes to falls, common culprits include cognitive impairments, unsteady gait, visual impairments, aging, urinary incontinence, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Whether you are struggling with imbalance or falls, rest assured you are in safe hands when you trust Chaux PT with your recovery. We also walk the extra mile to collaborate with your physician to develop a custom plan that will address your issue holistically.

FAQ: Physical Therapy
» What is a Physical Therapist?
Physical therapists are professionals certified and licensed to specialize in therapy programs for musculoskeletal disorders and injuries, post-surgery recovery, and sports injuries.
» What Should I Expect in My First PT Visit?
During your first visit, Dr. Chaux will perform a comprehensive evaluation lasting about an hour. The assessment includes discussing your medical history, current problems, and your physical therapy goals.
Also, expect muscle tests, postural assessment, neurological screening, and other tests to gain a specific insight into your condition. Dr. Chaux then formulates a clinical judgment and treatment plan based on the information obtained from the evaluation.

» How Many PT Sessions Will I Need?
The number of PT sessions varies significantly, depending on the diagnosis, past medical history, the severity of the impairment, etc. As such, you may need one session or months of care. Monthly re-evaluations help us assess your progress and recommend the next steps.
