Services
Orthopedic Physical Therapy
Our orthopedic physical therapy addresses musculoskeletal injuries through manual techniques and exercise protocols. Certified therapists treat conditions like joint pain, fractures, and post-surgical recovery using evidence-based approaches. Treatment includes dynamic stabilization, postural reeducation, and functional training to restore mobility and strength for daily activities and sports performance.
Sports Physical Therapy
Specialized sports rehabilitation combines manual therapy and sport-specific training for athletes of all levels. We treat repetitive strain injuries, ligament tears, and sports-related trauma using taping methods and functional exercises. Our approach accelerates return to competition while preventing future injuries through biomechanical analysis and performance enhancement techniques.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Certified specialists address pelvic floor dysfunction through targeted manual therapy and exercise programs. We treat urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and postpartum recovery with individualized care plans. Our therapists utilize biofeedback and myofascial release techniques to improve pelvic floor function for both men and women across all life stages.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialized vestibular therapy addresses dizziness and balance disorders through customized exercise programs. Certified therapists use canalith repositioning maneuvers and gaze stabilization techniques to treat conditions like BPPV and Meniere's disease. Treatment improves balance, reduces fall risk, and restores functional mobility through progressive balance training.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Comprehensive post-surgical care follows evidence-based protocols for optimal recovery after joint replacements and orthopedic procedures. Our therapists combine soft tissue mobilization, joint manipulation, and progressive strengthening to restore range of motion and functional independence. Treatment includes scar management and lymphatic drainage to minimize complications and accelerate healing.
