Our Services

Many people suffer from different types of arthritis. Arthritis is defined as an inflammatory condition in the affected joint/s of the body where you are having discomfort. Our therapists take you through a comprehensive program that targets the affected joint/s and associated soft tissue. This program will look to improve your overall posture and teach you proper body mechanics that won’t cause increased degenerative changes of the joint surfaces.

AON has an affiliation with the Brewster Central School District to provide athletic training services to their student-athletes. We also work with many student-athletes from the adjacent school districts of Katonah-Lewisboro, North Salem, Carmel, and Mahopac. The creation of the ACCEL-sior program has become a tremendous success. This sports-specific training program, run both during the school year as well as the summer, educates and trains students in proper stretching, strengthening, and plyometric activities. Outcome measures have shown both an improvement in strength, speed and power as well as decrease in injuries in those that attend. The program is tailored to the level and goals of the participant, from potential college athlete to those just looking to get in shape and battle childhood obesity. Meet the Trainer »

AON has developed a relationship with a local indoor aquatic center, Wings Over Water. Research has shown that aquatic therapy is an excellent adjunct to physical therapy. Many of the water-based activities have shown to translate into improved land-based function. The water provides a safe enviornment while at the same time diminishing the effects of gravity that can cause joint discomfort. Using the principles of water in conjunction with skilled theraputic techniques, our clients can obtain their goals faster and safer.

Many people suffer from balance issues during transfers and walking on uneven surfaces.

As infants and children we don’t know what “normal movement” is. From birth to three or toddler to elementary student, we have therapists who are experienced in helping the child and the parent alike.

You will notice that your therapist will base most of your child’s rehabilitation around play.
