Services
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points using thin needles to relieve pain and improve function. This technique stimulates healing in connective tissues and muscle fibers. Patients experience reduced stiffness and increased range of motion through targeted interventions that address specific pain sources.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses controlled suction to increase blood flow and release muscle tension. The treatment addresses scar tissue adhesions while promoting circulation in affected areas. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation and improved tissue mobility through customized cupping protocols.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy employs hands-on techniques to improve joint mobility and muscle function. Therapists use joint mobilization, soft tissue work, and taping to restore natural movement patterns. This approach enhances flexibility while addressing structural imbalances that contribute to chronic pain.
Functional Training
Functional training develops strength through movement patterns used in daily activities. Customized exercise programs improve coordination and prevent future injuries. Patients learn proper mechanics for squatting, lifting, and other essential movements to enhance overall physical performance.
Gait Training
Gait training analyzes and corrects walking patterns to improve mobility and prevent falls. Therapists address posture, balance, and joint stability through targeted exercises. This specialized program benefits patients recovering from injuries or seeking to improve athletic performance through better movement efficiency.
