Services
ASTYM Treatment
ASTYM is a non-invasive therapy stimulating the body's healing response to remodel scar tissue and regenerate degenerated tendons. This protocol-driven system delivers lasting results through documented techniques, effectively treating conditions like tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and post-surgical adhesions while avoiding medication, needles, or surgery.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets neuromuscular dysfunction by addressing hidden pain sources through filament needle insertion. This technique effectively treats referred pain conditions like carpal tunnel and chronic back pain, often providing significant relief within few sessions by resetting muscle function and alleviating secondary pain patterns.
Sports Rehabilitation
Our sports rehab programs combine manual therapy with performance enhancement techniques for injury prevention and management. Certified specialists create individualized plans focusing on core stabilization, movement efficiency, and re-injury prevention while coordinating care with coaches, trainers, and physicians for optimal athletic recovery.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Specialized pelvic floor rehabilitation addresses pre/postnatal conditions, incontinence, and pelvic pain disorders. Certified practitioners use evidence-based approaches to treat musculoskeletal components of pelvic dysfunction, combining manual therapy with patient education to improve quality of life and restore normal function.
Post-Surgical Rehab
Comprehensive post-surgical rehabilitation focuses on restoring mobility and function after procedures like hip replacements. Treatment incorporates manual therapy, functional strengthening, and modalities like ASTYM to reduce scar tissue adhesions while developing customized exercise programs to accelerate recovery and maximize surgical outcomes.
