The Training Station PT utilizes innovative Redcord® Therapy fostering a unique, “community of care” attitude towards patient treatment.

 

The Training Station PT, a locally owned and operated physical therapy practice, offers a revolutionary treatment technique to Central OregonThe introduction of the Redcord® suspension system is a significant development in the field of physical therapy. This method stands out for its innovative approach to rehabilitation and exercise, offering a variety of benefits to a wide range of patients.

Owner and physical therapist Lisa Ochman shares that Redcord® therapy utilizes a suspension system comprising of ropes, slings, and bungee cords to create a zero-gravity environment. This innovative approach allows patients to perform exercises that simulate the sensation of floating in water, which can be particularly beneficial for those with mobility issues or those who are recovering from injury or surgery. By reducing the pressure on the body, this method enables individuals to engage in corrective exercises safely and comfortably, potentially leading to quicker rehabilitation outcomes.

Redcord® therapy offers four primary benefits to patients; personalized care, efficient results, enhanced range of motion and comprehensive rehabilitation. The ability to adjust the suspension system for individual needs means that Redcord® therapy can be highly personalized, making it suitable for patients of all ages and abilities. By supporting healthy movement patterns, increasing muscle control and restoring joint mobility, Redcord® therapy may offer faster results compared to traditional physical therapy methods. Furthermore, the suspension technique allows for a range of motion that might not be achievable through conventional exercises, contributing to more effective treatment outcomes. And given its versatility, Redcord® therapy can be used to treat a wide array of conditions, from lymphedema and cancer recovery to sports injuries and post-surgical rehabilitation.

Ochman’s commitment to working collaboratively with other healthcare providers is a model of integrative care that benefits patients by ensuring their treatment is comprehensive and coordinated. This “community of care” approach is particularly important for patients dealing with complex conditions, as it ensures that all aspects of a patient’s health are considered and addressed.

Patients Frank Graham and Monica Vines highlight the positive impact that Redcord® therapy and Ochman’s “community of care” approach have had on their recovery processes. Their experiences underline the importance of a supportive and patient-centered approach to rehabilitation.

Graham, a local army veteran, was referred to Ochman at The Training Station PT by his cardiologist. Suffering from lymphedema, Graham and his wife Annie appreciate the time and patience Ochman devotes to his care. Graham states, “Lisa’s attitude is incredibly positive and her approach makes you feel comfortable. She gives you the support and encouragement that makes you to want to do the work.”

Immediately intrigued by the Redcord® suspension system, Graham found that it provides a supportive, comfortable and gentle workout. “I don’t know how anyone would go back to traditional physical therapy after seeing Lisa and using this technique.

Vines was diagnosed with breast cancer, eventually undergoing a unilateral mastectomy and has received a host of care from various practitioners including chemotherapy, radiation, acupuncture, naturopathy and massage. She was referred to Ochman at the Training Station PT by her primary surgeon and shares, “Lisa’s unique approach to working collaboratively with my treatment team requires more time and effort. I appreciate her willingness to go the extra mile in my treatment and care.”

The Training Station PT’s introduction of Redcord® therapy to Central Oregon represents a significant advancement in physical therapy practices. By offering a unique and scientifically supported treatment method, Ochman is positioned to make a profound difference in the lives of her patients. As the sole practitioner of Redcord® therapy in the state, The Training Station PT is at the forefront of innovative physical therapy practices.
