Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy at Unified Therapies focuses on restoring mobility, strength, and function for individuals with neurological, orthopedic, or chronic conditions. Our therapists use evidence-based techniques like LSVT BIG and Neurodevelopmental Treatment to address movement disorders, post-stroke recovery, and balance issues. Tailored exercise programs help patients regain independence while reducing pain and preventing future injuries.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy treats dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders caused by inner ear dysfunction. Our specialists design customized exercises to improve gaze stability, standing balance, and fall prevention. This therapy enhances daily functioning and safety for patients experiencing chronic dizziness or post-concussion symptoms.
Cranial Facial Release
Cranial Facial Release is an advanced endo-nasal technique addressing neurological and structural imbalances. By realigning nasal structures, this therapy improves cerebrospinal fluid flow, reduces headaches, and alleviates nerve-related symptoms. Patients experience enhanced circulation, reduced muscle spasms, and improved sleep quality through this non-invasive approach.
LGBTQ+ Medicine
LGBTQ+ Medicine at Unified Therapies provides affirming rehabilitation services in a discrimination-free environment. Our team specializes in addressing unique health needs while ensuring emotional safety and respect. This service integrates cultural competency with physical therapy to support holistic well-being for LGBTQ+ individuals.
Home Evaluations
Home Evaluation services assess living environments for safety hazards and mobility challenges. Our therapists recommend modifications to reduce fall risks and improve accessibility for patients recovering from injuries or managing chronic conditions. These assessments empower caregivers with strategies to support patient independence at home.
