Services
Balance/Fall Prevention
Our balance therapy addresses dizziness, unsteadiness, and fall risks caused by aging, arthritis, or neurological conditions. Through personalized strengthening programs, we help patients regain stability and confidence for independent living. This service benefits seniors and individuals recovering from strokes or inner ear disorders by improving coordination and reducing injury risks.
Concussion Rehab
Specialized concussion rehabilitation treats headaches, dizziness, and cognitive issues from traumatic brain injuries. Our therapists use balance training, manual therapy, and gaze stabilization exercises to accelerate recovery for sports injuries, falls, or accidents. This service helps patients restore normal brain function and return to daily activities safely through structured, monitored treatment plans.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle knots and chronic pain in areas like shoulders, neck, and knees. By stimulating trigger points with thin needles, we reduce tension, improve circulation, and promote healing. This science-based treatment benefits patients with migraines, tennis elbow, or post-surgical stiffness, offering rapid pain relief without medication.
Orthopedic Therapy
Orthopedic physical therapy addresses injuries from sports, fractures, or surgeries using advanced techniques for joint mobility and pain reduction. Our therapists create customized plans for pre/post-surgery recovery, tendon repair, and arthritis management. This service combines manual therapy with strength training to restore function in muscles, bones, and ligaments.
Pediatric Therapy
Pediatric therapy supports children with genetic, neurological, or orthopedic conditions to improve mobility and developmental milestones. We address walking difficulties, muscle tone issues, and coordination challenges through playful, age-appropriate exercises. This service helps young patients enhance gross motor skills, posture, and confidence while guiding families through home care strategies.
