Orthopedic Physical Therapy
Specialized treatment for musculoskeletal injuries using evidence-based techniques to reduce pain and restore function. Our therapists address conditions like tendonitis, fractures, and post-surgical recovery through customized exercise programs and manual therapy. Patients benefit from individualized care plans that incorporate advanced tools like the AlterG treadmill for accelerated recovery.
Custom Orthotics
Precision-crafted shoe inserts designed to correct biomechanical imbalances and alleviate foot-related pain. Using 3D casting technology, we create personalized orthotics that address specific gait abnormalities and weight distribution issues. This service helps prevent injuries while improving comfort for both athletes and individuals with chronic foot conditions.
Dry Needling
Advanced treatment for myofascial pain using thin filiform needles to target trigger points and release muscle tension. This technique improves range of motion and accelerates recovery from sports injuries and chronic pain conditions. Our certified therapists integrate dry needling with traditional physical therapy for optimal results.
3D Run Analysis
Comprehensive biomechanical evaluation using motion capture technology to identify running form inefficiencies. This analysis helps prevent injuries and enhances performance by creating personalized corrective exercise programs. Runners receive detailed feedback about foot strike patterns, joint movement, and potential injury risks.
Sports Medicine
Specialized care for athletes recovering from sports-related injuries through sport-specific rehabilitation programs. Our team develops return-to-play protocols that address ACL injuries, shoulder instability, and overuse conditions. Treatment combines strength training, movement analysis, and performance enhancement techniques to ensure safe recovery.
