Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services address musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and movement dysfunctions through personalized treatment plans. Using techniques like manual therapy, dry needling, and therapeutic exercises, we help patients recover from sports injuries, work-related conditions, and neurological disorders. Our therapists analyze movement patterns to identify root causes of pain, providing education on posture correction and preventive care to ensure long-term wellness.
Occupational Therapy
Specialized occupational therapy for adults and children focuses on improving fine motor skills, sensory processing, and daily living activities. Our therapists treat hand injuries, developmental delays, and sensory integration issues using playful, goal-oriented interventions. For pediatric patients, sessions incorporate fun activities that enhance coordination, attention span, and self-care abilities while addressing food aversions and motor skill delays.
Athletes Edge Program
This performance enhancement program combines movement analysis, mobility restoration, and recovery strategies for athletes of all levels. Certified clinicians conduct fitness assessments to create customized training plans that improve strength, coordination, and injury prevention. Services include video analysis, joint mobilization, and recovery programming using tools like Normatec compression sleeves to optimize athletic performance and reduce injury risks.
Concussion Management
Specialized concussion treatment follows evidence-based protocols for cognitive and physical recovery. Our therapists conduct comprehensive evaluations to identify vestibular issues, balance deficits, and visual disturbances caused by traumatic brain injuries. Treatment includes gradual return-to-activity plans, collaboration with schools/workplaces, and symptom management strategies to address headaches, dizziness, and concentration difficulties associated with concussions.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Targeted vestibular therapy addresses balance disorders, vertigo, and dizziness through customized exercise programs. Therapists use specialized techniques to improve gaze stability, reduce fall risks, and enhance overall balance function. Treatment incorporates gaze-shifting exercises, balance retraining, and habituation techniques to help patients regain confidence in daily activities affected by inner ear dysfunction.
