Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services address musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and mobility limitations through hands-on care. Using techniques like manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and modalities such as electrical stimulation, we create individualized plans to restore function and reduce pain. Patients benefit from one-on-one sessions focused on improving strength, flexibility, and overall physical performance while preventing future injuries.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Specialized rehabilitation programs target sports-related injuries including ACL tears, shoulder impingements, and concussions. We combine movement analysis, performance training, and recovery techniques like cupping and compression therapy to accelerate healing. Athletes regain confidence through sport-specific drills and return-to-play protocols, ensuring safe reintegration into competitive activities while minimizing re-injury risks.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Post-operative care focuses on optimizing recovery after procedures like joint replacements or rotator cuff repairs. Treatment includes progressive strengthening, joint mobilization, and pain management strategies to restore mobility and function. Our therapists collaborate with surgeons to follow evidence-based protocols, helping patients safely transition from basic mobility to advanced physical conditioning for full recovery.
Dry Needle Therapy
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points causing chronic pain or restricted movement. By inserting fine needles into affected areas, we release tension, improve blood flow, and promote tissue healing. This technique effectively addresses conditions like tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, and neck stiffness, often providing rapid relief when combined with traditional physical therapy exercises.
Performance Training
Performance programs improve speed, strength, and endurance for athletes and active individuals. Using velocity-based training and functional movement screens, we identify weaknesses and develop tailored regimens to enhance athletic capabilities. Training includes sport-specific drills, injury prevention strategies, and recovery protocols to maximize physical potential and competitive performance.
