Services
Physical Therapy
FLEX Physical Therapy provides comprehensive physical therapy for orthopedic, sports medicine, and neurologic conditions. Our one-on-one sessions focus on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving function through manual therapy and customized exercise programs. Patients benefit from evidence-based techniques tailored to individual needs.
Dry Needling
Dry Needling targets myofascial trigger points to alleviate pain and improve range of motion. Using thin filiform needles, this technique inactivates trigger points, reduces muscle tension, and accelerates recovery. It is integrated into broader treatment plans for chronic pain and movement impairments.
Graston Technique
Graston Technique uses stainless steel instruments to detect and resolve muscle adhesions. This evidence-based method enhances healing by addressing scar tissue and fascial restrictions. Certified practitioners apply controlled microtrauma to promote tissue repair and functional restoration.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular rehabilitation addresses balance disorders and dizziness caused by inner ear issues. Customized exercises improve gaze stability, posture, and coordination. Patients experience reduced vertigo symptoms and regain confidence in daily activities through targeted therapeutic interventions.
Blood Flow Restriction Training
Blood Flow Restriction Training enhances muscle strength with low-intensity exercise. By partially restricting venous blood flow, this method stimulates muscle growth and recovery without heavy loads. It is ideal for post-surgical rehabilitation and improving endurance safely.
