Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services focus on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving physical function through personalized treatment plans. We address musculoskeletal conditions, post-injury recovery, and chronic pain management using evidence-based techniques. Our one-on-one approach ensures patients receive direct care from licensed therapists who monitor progress and adjust treatments to optimize outcomes.
Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy utilizes our heated therapeutic pool with resistance jets and underwater treadmill to facilitate low-impact rehabilitation. This service benefits patients with joint pain, post-surgical conditions, or mobility limitations by leveraging water's buoyancy and resistance properties. Sessions are supervised by licensed therapists who design customized aquatic exercise programs to enhance strength and range of motion.
Concussion Testing
We provide free baseline neuropsychological testing using the ImPACT system for athletes of all levels. This service helps identify concussions through pre- and post-injury comparisons, guiding safe return-to-play decisions. Our certified therapists administer and interpret tests that assess cognitive function, reaction time, and memory to ensure proper concussion management and recovery.
Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Our orthopedic rehabilitation addresses injuries and conditions affecting bones, joints, and connective tissues through targeted exercise programs and manual therapy. We treat common issues like back pain, shoulder impingement, and post-surgical recovery using evidence-based protocols. Therapists work closely with patients to restore function, prevent re-injury, and improve overall musculoskeletal health.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular rehabilitation helps patients with balance disorders, vertigo, and dizziness through specialized exercises that improve inner ear function. Our therapists assess each patient's specific balance deficits and create customized treatment plans to reduce fall risk and enhance stability. This service addresses both peripheral and central vestibular disorders through progressive therapeutic interventions.
