Services
Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy uses water's buoyancy to reduce joint impact during exercise, improving mobility with less pain. This treatment benefits patients with chronic pain, post-surgical conditions, or mobility limitations. Sessions incorporate hydrostatic pressure and resistance to enhance circulation, strength, and range of motion.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialized therapy for dizziness and balance disorders caused by inner ear issues. Our certified therapists design customized programs to improve equilibrium, reduce vertigo symptoms, and enhance quality of life through targeted exercises and activity modification.
Sports Rehabilitation
Comprehensive sports injury recovery combining manual therapy, biomechanical analysis, and performance training. Our specialists treat ACL tears, rotator cuff injuries, and sports-related trauma using evidence-based techniques to restore function and prevent future injuries for athletes of all levels.
Post-Surgical Recovery
Individualized rehabilitation programs following joint replacements, arthroscopic surgeries, and other orthopedic procedures. We collaborate with surgeons to protect surgical repairs while accelerating recovery through progressive mobility exercises and strength training protocols.
Occupational Therapy
Therapy focused on improving functional abilities for daily activities in adults and children. Specializations include upper extremity rehabilitation, pediatric developmental support, and adaptive techniques for self-care and work-related tasks.
