Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy programs address musculoskeletal and neurological conditions through customized treatment plans. Using manual therapy techniques and evidence-based exercises, we help patients recover from injuries, manage chronic pain, and improve mobility. Each session provides one-on-one care with licensed therapists focused on restoring functional independence.
Vestibular Therapy
Specialized treatment for balance disorders and vertigo using vestibular rehabilitation techniques. Certified therapists employ canalith repositioning maneuvers and gaze stabilization exercises to address conditions like BPPV and concussion-related dizziness through individualized therapy programs.
Post-Concussion Rehab
Graduated recovery programs for concussion patients following international consensus guidelines. Our certified specialists use neurocognitive assessments and symptom-guided therapy to safely restore physical and cognitive function while monitoring for post-concussion syndrome indicators.
Sports Medicine
Comprehensive care for sports-related injuries including ligament sprains, muscle strains, and overuse conditions. Treatment combines sport-specific functional training with biomechanical analysis to optimize performance and prevent re-injury through structured return-to-play protocols.
Neurological Rehab
Targeted rehabilitation for neurological conditions affecting movement and coordination. Therapists implement evidence-based interventions for stroke recovery, Parkinson's disease management, and balance disorders using task-specific training and adaptive equipment.
