Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services address post-injury recovery, post-surgical rehabilitation, and chronic condition management through customized treatment plans. We utilize evidence-based techniques including manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and advanced modalities to restore mobility and reduce pain. Patients benefit from one-on-one sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy who specializes in orthopedic and sports medicine applications.
Gait Analysis
This specialized service evaluates walking patterns to identify biomechanical inefficiencies contributing to pain or mobility limitations. Using observational analysis and functional testing, we develop targeted interventions to improve balance, prevent falls, and enhance athletic performance. The assessment informs customized orthotic prescriptions and gait retraining programs tailored to individual needs.
Ergonomic Assessments
We conduct comprehensive evaluations of work environments to optimize posture and prevent musculoskeletal injuries. Our assessments include workstation adjustments, task modification recommendations, and employee education on proper body mechanics. This service helps businesses reduce workplace injuries while maintaining productivity through ergonomically sound practices.
BPPV Treatment
Our specialized treatment for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) utilizes the Canalith Repositioning Technique to resolve inner ear balance disorders. This non-invasive procedure effectively repositions displaced otoconia particles causing vertigo symptoms. Patients typically experience significant symptom reduction within 1-2 treatment sessions conducted by our vestibular rehabilitation specialist.
Sport Bracing
We provide custom-fitted bracing solutions to support joint stability and prevent sports-related injuries. Our selection includes knee, ankle, and shoulder braces tailored to specific athletic demands. The service includes proper fitting guidance, usage instructions, and integration with rehabilitation programs to ensure safe return to sports activities while minimizing re-injury risks.
