Susan Heintz Blanchard knows firsthand the benefits of physical therapy after sustaining injuries as a competitive water skier. Her experience led her to pursue a B.S. in Physical Therapy and she now has 22 years of experience in the field.

A native of Covington, Blanchard returned to practice in her home town in 1981, then opened Rehab Dynamics in 1997. Offering a comprehensive program of treatment, the clinic provides everything from cardiac reconditioning and massage therapy to Pilates classes. Due in part to her own athletic background, Blanchard has also carved a niche using a sports medicine approach for industrial medicine and back rehabilitation.

Most importantly, the staff of Rehab Dynamics sets itself part with individualized care and comprehensive evaluations to determine the best course of treatment for each patient. Blanchard emphasizes the importance of helping her patients to maintain the healthiest possible lifestyle, offering wellness classes which help to prevent further injury.

Some of the many benefits of physical therapy include:

• Alleviating pain
• Improving function
• Building muscular and
cardiovascular endurance
• Increasing range of motion
• Expediting healing
• Restoring independence
• Rebuilding strength
