Services
Manual Therapy
Our manual therapy techniques involve skilled hand movements to manipulate joints and soft tissues. This approach improves mobility, reduces pain, and restores function through methods like joint mobilization and soft tissue mobilization. It's particularly effective for neck/back pain and post-surgical rehabilitation.
Dry Needling
This specialized treatment uses thin needles to target muscle trigger points causing pain and dysfunction. By releasing tight muscle bands and improving blood flow, dry needling effectively treats conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and chronic muscle pain with measurable improvement in range of motion.
Biomechanics Testing
Our advanced biomechanics assessment evaluates movement patterns using state-of-the-art technology. This comprehensive analysis identifies imbalances and inefficiencies in gait, posture, and functional movements to create targeted rehabilitation and performance enhancement programs tailored to individual needs.
Post-Surgical Rehab
We provide specialized rehabilitation programs following orthopedic surgeries including joint replacements and ligament repairs. Our protocol-driven approach combines progressive exercises, manual therapy, and functional training to optimize healing, restore mobility, and accelerate return to daily activities.
Sports Performance Training
This program combines sportsmetrics training with functional movement screening to improve athletic performance. We focus on developing power, agility, and injury prevention through customized drills, strength training, and biomechanical analysis for athletes of all levels.
