Services
Orthopedic Physical Therapy
Our orthopedic physical therapy addresses bone, muscle, and joint conditions through personalized treatment plans. We specialize in post-surgical recovery and chronic pain management using manual therapy and therapeutic exercises. Patients benefit from one-on-one sessions focusing on restoring mobility and preventing future injuries.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Sports injury rehabilitation combines sports-specific exercises with advanced techniques like Blood Flow Restriction training. We treat common athletic injuries including 'swimmer's shoulder' and patello-femoral pain while emphasizing performance optimization and injury prevention strategies tailored to individual sports requirements.
Vestibular Therapy
Vestibular therapy addresses balance disorders and dizziness through specialized repositioning maneuvers and balance training. Our certified specialists treat BPPV and other vestibular conditions using evidence-based protocols to improve spatial orientation and reduce fall risk in patients of all ages.
Post-Operative Rehabilitation
Post-operative rehabilitation programs follow surgical procedures for knee and shoulder conditions. We implement phased recovery protocols combining soft tissue mobilization, neuromuscular re-education, and progressive strengthening to restore function while adhering to surgeon guidelines for optimal recovery outcomes.
Joint Pain Management
Joint pain management addresses conditions like TMJ dysfunction and arthritis through manual therapy and postural re-education. Our approach combines pain-relieving modalities with customized exercise programs to improve joint mobility and reduce inflammation without relying on medication.
