Services
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points to relieve chronic pain and improve mobility. This technique treats back pain, headaches, and tendinitis by inserting thin needles to release tension. It complements personalized rehabilitation plans for faster recovery.
Gait Training
Gait training corrects abnormal walking patterns post-injury or surgery. Our therapists use tailored exercises to restore normal movement mechanics, improve balance, and enhance overall mobility for daily activities.
Joint Mobilization
Joint mobilization techniques reduce stiffness and improve range of motion through controlled passive movements. Spinal mobilization addresses back and neck pain by restoring natural joint function safely.
Neuromuscular Re-education
This therapy improves coordination, posture, and body awareness through specialized exercises. It helps patients recover from neurological conditions by retraining muscle memory and sensory feedback systems effectively.
Patient Education
We provide comprehensive education on injury prevention and home exercises. Online resources include guided workouts for back, knee, and shoulder rehabilitation, ensuring continuity of care beyond clinic sessions.
