Physical Therapy
Our comprehensive physical therapy programs address musculoskeletal injuries, post-surgical recovery, and chronic pain management. Using evidence-based techniques, we develop personalized treatment plans to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve functional capacity. Our therapists employ manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and specialized equipment to help patients achieve optimal recovery outcomes while educating them about self-management strategies.
Dry Needling
This specialized treatment targets myofascial trigger points using thin filament needles to alleviate chronic muscle pain and tightness. By eliciting local twitch responses, our certified therapists break pain cycles and promote tissue healing. The treatment effectively addresses conditions like neck/back pain, headaches, and sports injuries while incorporating post-treatment care instructions for sustained benefits.
Balance Training
Designed for patients with dizziness, vertigo, or fall risks, our balance programs combine vestibular rehabilitation with functional exercises. Therapists assess individual balance deficits and implement customized training using assistive devices when needed. The treatment focuses on improving stability, reducing fall risks, and restoring confidence in daily activities through progressive exercise regimens.
LSVT BIG
This specialized program addresses movement disorders associated with Parkinson's disease through high-intensity, amplitude-based exercises. Certified therapists deliver structured sessions focusing on improving mobility, balance, and daily functioning. The treatment includes home exercise programs to maintain therapeutic benefits and slow disease progression through consistent neuromuscular training.
Pediatric Therapy
Our pediatric specialists address developmental delays and movement disorders in children through play-based interventions. The program focuses on improving motor skills, coordination, and functional independence while providing family education. Therapists work closely with parents to implement home exercise programs that support continuous developmental progress in a nurturing environment.
