Services
Back and Neck Pain
Specialized treatment for persistent back and neck pain using manual therapy techniques to mobilize spine and soft tissue. Our therapists develop individualized assessments focusing on posture correction and functional improvement. Patients receive education on pain prevention and receive customized exercise programs to ensure long-term recovery and mobility enhancement.
Fascial Counterstrain
Advanced technique targeting connective tissue restrictions through gentle positioning to relieve pain and improve mobility. This method addresses acute/chronic conditions by restoring normal fascial tension. Clinicians use precise assessment to identify problematic areas, making it effective for conditions like fibromyalgia, migraines, and post-surgical rehabilitation needs.
Sports Injuries
Comprehensive rehabilitation programs for athletes of all levels, from professional competitors to recreational enthusiasts. Treatment includes manual therapy, strength training, and sport-specific exercises to restore function. Our approach focuses on injury prevention education and gradual return-to-activity protocols to ensure complete recovery while minimizing re-injury risks.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Structured rehabilitation plans for pre- and post-operative care following joint replacements or soft tissue repairs. Therapists employ hands-on techniques combined with progressive strengthening exercises to restore mobility and function. Treatment includes ultrasound therapy, electrical stimulation, and customized home exercise programs to accelerate recovery and optimize surgical outcomes.
Dry Needling
Specialized treatment using monofilament needles to release muscle trigger points and alleviate pain. This technique improves blood flow and reduces inflammation by targeting specific areas of muscular dysfunction. Sessions include comprehensive assessment and follow-up care to ensure sustained pain relief and improved muscle function for chronic pain conditions.
