Services
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques to relieve musculoskeletal pain and restore joint mobility. Our therapists use targeted pressure and joint manipulation to address muscle tension and dysfunction. This approach helps patients regain normal range of motion and reduce chronic pain effectively.
Post-Surgical Rehab
Post-surgical rehabilitation focuses on restoring function after orthopedic procedures like hip or knee replacements. We develop personalized plans using imaging reviews and physician input to promote healing and minimize trauma. Our evidence-based protocols help patients return to daily activities safely and efficiently.
Performing Arts Therapy
Performing arts therapy addresses injuries specific to dancers, musicians, and actors. Our team understands movement impairments that affect performance and creates tailored treatment plans. We help artists recover from pain while preventing future injuries through specialized conditioning programs.
Sports Conditioning
Sports conditioning treats injuries from athletic activities and improves overall performance. We address common issues like sprains and fractures while offering team training programs. Our approach combines injury treatment with performance enhancement strategies for individual and group athletes.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets painful muscle trigger points using acupuncture needles to relieve tension. This minimally invasive technique improves outcomes by addressing abnormal nervous system activity. It provides rapid relief for patients with chronic tightness and soft tissue restrictions.
