Services
Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy utilizes water-based exercises and specialized equipment to improve mobility, strength, and recovery for patients with musculoskeletal or neuromuscular conditions. Our facility includes aquatic treadmills, ellipticals, and a deep pool well for disc decompression. Patients receive supervised sessions with physical therapy technicians to ensure proper technique and safety.
Dry Needling
Dry needling involves inserting thin needles into myofascial trigger points to alleviate pain and improve movement for neuromusculoskeletal conditions. This technique targets muscle tightness and inflammation, supported by clinical research to enhance recovery outcomes. Certified therapists administer treatments following individualized assessments.
RockTape
RockTape applies elastic therapeutic tape to reduce pain, swelling, and fatigue while supporting muscle function during physical activity. This method aids athletes and patients by improving circulation and joint stability. Certified practitioners customize taping techniques for specific injuries or performance goals.
XZACT 180
XZACT 180 is a health initiative combining fitness training and nutritional guidance to promote long-term lifestyle changes. Certified trainers design personalized exercise routines and review dietary habits to enhance overall wellness. The program emphasizes sustainable weight management and injury prevention strategies.
Assisted Lymphatic Therapy
Assisted Lymphatic Therapy uses gentle touch and handheld devices to stimulate lymphatic drainage, reducing swelling and enhancing immune function. This non-invasive technique benefits patients with lymphatic system imbalances or post-surgical recovery needs. Sessions focus on improving circulation and reducing fluid retention.
