Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Our orthopedic rehabilitation program addresses musculoskeletal injuries through hands-on therapy techniques. We treat sprains, strains, tendonitis, and fractures while offering pre- and post-operative care. Each patient receives a customized plan to relieve pain, improve strength, and restore mobility for long-term recovery.
Sports Physical Therapy
Designed for athletes recovering from injuries, our sports therapy program focuses on rapid return to competition. We combine conditioning exercises with injury-specific treatments to enhance performance, prevent re-injury, and optimize physical capabilities through personalized training sessions for athletes of all levels.
Dry Needling
Certified physical therapists perform dry needling to treat neuro-musculoskeletal pain. This technique uses fine needles to stimulate muscle fibers, releasing trigger points causing pain. The procedure effectively addresses chronic muscle tension and movement impairments through targeted neuromuscular stimulation.
Lymphedema Treatment
Our certified lymphedema therapists provide specialized care for chronic swelling conditions. The treatment combines manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, and exercise programs to reduce swelling and improve quality of life for patients with post-cancer or chronic edema conditions.
Aquatic Therapy
Utilizing Muscatine Y facilities, our aquatic therapy offers low-impact rehabilitation in a controlled water environment. This approach improves flexibility, strength, and balance while minimizing joint stress through customized water exercise programs for various musculoskeletal conditions.
