Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services address mobility issues through customized treatment plans. Licensed therapists use evidence-based techniques to treat conditions like low back pain, TMJ dysfunction, and post-surgical recovery. Each session focuses on restoring function and preventing future injuries through manual therapy and patient education.
Dry Needling
This specialized treatment uses thin needles to relieve muscle tension and chronic pain. Performed by certified therapists, dry needling targets trigger points to improve range of motion and accelerate healing. Sessions integrate with broader rehabilitation plans for optimal results.
Wellness Classes
Small-group wellness classes combine strength training and mobility exercises under professional supervision. Limited to four participants, these sessions offer personalized assessments and progress tracking. Focus areas include core strength, flexibility, and injury prevention through evidence-based fitness programming.
Biofeedback
Biofeedback assessments evaluate pelvic floor muscle function using electronic monitoring. This non-invasive technique helps treat urinary incontinence and pelvic pain by improving muscle coordination. Therapists use visual feedback to guide patients through targeted strengthening exercises.
Bodywork Therapy
Bodywork services include myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and Reiki treatments. These manual techniques reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. Sessions are tailored to address specific musculoskeletal issues while supporting overall wellness.
