Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services address musculoskeletal and neurological conditions through hands-on techniques and customized exercise programs. By integrating cranial sacral therapy, visceral manipulation, and orthopedic manual therapy, we target the root causes of pain and dysfunction. Each session emphasizes patient education and active participation, fostering sustainable recovery and improved mobility for individuals of all ages.
Cranial Sacral Therapy
This gentle, non-invasive therapy focuses on the cranial-sacral system to alleviate tension, migraines, and chronic pain. By releasing restrictions in the central nervous system, we enhance the bodys natural healing capacity. Ideal for patients seeking relief from stress, trauma, or neurological imbalances, this technique promotes overall wellness and equilibrium.
Visceral Manipulation
Visceral manipulation addresses restrictions in organ mobility to improve function and reduce pain caused by adhesions or inflammation. By restoring the natural movement of internal organs, this therapy supports digestive health, respiratory efficiency, and post-surgical recovery. Tailored to each patients anatomy, it complements holistic rehabilitation strategies.
Yoga Rehabilitation
Blending yoga principles with physical therapy, this service enhances flexibility, strength, and body awareness. Designed for injury recovery and chronic pain management, sessions incorporate adaptive poses, breathwork, and mindfulness to promote physical and mental well-being. Suitable for all fitness levels and therapeutic needs.
Running Biomechanics
Our running biomechanics assessment identifies movement inefficiencies to prevent injuries and optimize performance. Through video analysis and manual correction, we address imbalances, footwear recommendations, and training adjustments. This service benefits recreational and competitive runners seeking to improve efficiency and reduce overuse injuries.
