Services
Functional Biomechanics
Functional Biomechanics assesses the body as a whole to address pain and dysfunction at their source. This method identifies underlying causes of injury, enabling targeted treatments that yield faster results and reduce re-injury rates. Patients benefit from customized plans integrating manual therapy and dynamic loading techniques.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular Rehabilitation treats dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance through specialized exercises and manual techniques. Designed for patients experiencing falls or motion-related discomfort, this therapy improves safety and quality of life by restoring inner ear function and enhancing balance control.
Sports Injury Rehab
Sports Injury Rehab focuses on restoring mobility and strength after athletic injuries. Using functional biomechanics, therapists address compensations that hinder performance, enabling athletes to return to play faster. Programs emphasize injury prevention and sport-specific movement patterns for optimal recovery.
Scoliosis Treatment
Scoliosis Treatment combines functional biomechanics with targeted exercises to reduce spinal curvature and alleviate pain. Therapists work to improve core stability, mobility, and posture, slowing progression and enhancing daily functionality for patients with scoliosis.
Dry Needling
Dry Needling uses fine needles to target muscle knots and trigger points, relieving pain and improving mobility. This technique accelerates tissue healing by stimulating blood flow and reducing inflammation, often incorporated into broader rehabilitation plans for chronic or acute injuries.
