Services
Therapeutic Massage
Our licensed therapists target muscle tension from sprains or strains using deep tissue techniques. This treatment restores function and relieves pain by addressing both symptoms and underlying causes. Therapists employ varying pressure techniques to release tension in muscles and soft tissues while identifying contributing factors to chronic pain.
Balance & Vestibular Therapy
Specialized therapy addresses inner ear issues causing dizziness and balance problems. Our trained therapists correct positional imbalances and implement retraining exercises to reduce fall risks. This age-inclusive treatment effectively manages vertigo symptoms and improves overall balance through targeted interventions.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Using controlled electrical currents, this treatment induces muscle contractions to strengthen weakened muscles and improve circulation. Adjustable intensity settings accommodate varying patient needs while promoting healing through enhanced blood flow to affected areas.
Ultrasound Machine Therapy
High-frequency sound waves penetrate deep tissues to reduce inflammation and promote healing. This modality increases circulation and relaxes muscle tissue through controlled thermal effects, effectively treating muscle spasms and chronic tightness.
Gait Training
Customized training programs help patients regain independent mobility using assistive devices. Focused instruction on proper foot placement and balance techniques benefits stroke survivors and neuropathy patients through structured reconditioning exercises.
