Physiotherapy (Physical Therapy) in Las Cruces

Man stretching armIf pain or stiffness is keeping you from doing your job, playing with your kids, or enjoying the activities you love, you don’t have to just “live with it.” Physiotherapy (physical therapy) can help restore strength, mobility, and trust in how your body moves. At Smith Wellness, we integrate therapy with chiropractic care so joints, muscles, and the nervous system are addressed together.

Dr. Jonathan Smith combines hands-on care, proven technology, and clear guidance so you understand what’s happening and what to do next. The goal is to help you move well in real life, not just on an exam table.

How Physiotherapy Works at Smith Wellness

Care may include passive therapy and active rehab, based on your exam findings and goals. Passive options can include electrical stimulation and ultrasound to help calm pain, reduce muscle spasm, and support irritated tissues.

Dr. Smith is very specific about how electrical stimulation is used, including settings and pad placement. In many cases, he uses Russian stimulation, a focused style that causes muscles to contract, helping them rebuild strength and release stubborn spasms. You may also be guided through job- or sport-specific movements during therapy to help your muscles relearn proper firing patterns.

Conditions We Commonly Help With

Physiotherapy here is often used to help with:

  • Ongoing tightness, spasms, or “knots” that won’t settle
  • Balance or movement issues that make daily tasks harder

Your plan is built around the likely source of the issue, not only where it hurts.

Home Exercises With the EMBODI App

Lasting progress often depends on what happens between visits. With the EMBODI remote therapeutic monitoring app, you’ll receive a home exercise plan matched to your diagnosis, with beginner to advanced options. The app tracks how exercises feel, asks whether you want to adjust the difficulty, and sends your feedback to Dr. Smith. If something causes pain, he can switch it off or replace it quickly, keeping your program practical and well-matched to your body.
