Services
Osteoporosis Management
Our Onero Bone Building Program combines high-intensity resistance training with impact exercises to improve bone density. This evidence-based protocol requires twice-weekly supervised sessions to reduce fracture risks while enhancing muscular strength. We also offer alternative programs like BoneFit-USA for patients unable to participate in high-intensity regimens, focusing on safe movement techniques and posture education.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialized treatment for inner ear disorders addresses vertigo, dizziness, and balance deficits through customized exercise programs. Our therapists use evidence-based techniques to retrain the vestibular system, reducing fall risks while improving spatial orientation and eye movement coordination for patients of all ages.
Fall Risk Assessment
Comprehensive evaluations identify balance impairments and environmental factors contributing to fall risks. Our program includes targeted strength training, gait analysis, and home safety assessments to implement evidence-based interventions that restore confidence and prevent future falls through individualized exercise plans.
Post-Concussion Management
Integrated treatment combines vestibular rehabilitation, cervical spine therapy, and graded aerobic exercise to address post-concussion symptoms. Our individualized programs incorporate visual-vestibular integration techniques and autonomic nervous system regulation to accelerate recovery while managing symptoms like dizziness and cognitive difficulties.
Pilates Rehabilitation
Customized Pilates-based programs utilize reformer equipment and specialized apparatus to improve core stability, posture, and functional movement patterns. Our therapists modify traditional Pilates techniques for post-surgical recovery and injury rehabilitation, focusing on proper alignment and movement re-education to address back pain, joint dysfunction, and balance impairments.
