Services
Orthopedic Physical Therapy
Our orthopedic physical therapy addresses musculoskeletal injuries through comprehensive evaluations and customized treatment plans. We treat conditions affecting bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles using manual therapy techniques and therapeutic exercises. Patients receive education about their conditions and participate in active rehabilitation programs designed to restore mobility and strength while preventing future injuries.
Blood Flow Restriction Training
Blood Flow Restriction Training safely reduces blood flow to targeted muscles using specialized equipment, enabling strength gains with lighter weights. This technique accelerates recovery from injuries while minimizing stress on healing tissues. Our certified therapists supervise all sessions to ensure proper application and monitor patient progress through structured exercise programs.
Running Evaluations
Our running evaluations combine physical examinations with slow-motion video analysis using Dartfish software to identify gait inefficiencies. Therapists assess mobility, strength, and alignment patterns that may contribute to running injuries. Patients receive personalized recommendations for gait modifications and targeted exercise programs to improve running mechanics and prevent recurring injuries.
Graston Technique
The Graston Technique uses specialized instruments to detect and treat soft tissue restrictions and scar tissue. This evidence-based method accelerates healing by breaking down adhesions that limit mobility and cause pain. Our certified clinicians apply controlled microtrauma to affected areas, stimulating the body's natural healing response while improving range of motion and function.
Telehealth Services
Our telehealth platform delivers comprehensive physical therapy evaluations and treatment sessions through secure video conferencing. Therapists conduct movement assessments, develop individualized exercise programs, and provide ongoing guidance for home exercise completion. Virtual visits maintain continuity of care while offering flexibility for patients with scheduling or mobility challenges.
